INSTRUCTIONS
Heat the annatto seeds in a small saucepan until slightly toasty. Add
the olive oil and continue to heat for 3 to 4 minutes. Turn off and
allow to cool. Now strain the oil and pour it over the shrimp. Turn
the shrimp over and allow to marinate at least 10 minutes. Squeeze
the lime over the shrimp and season. Keep cool until ready to cook
and serve. For the potatoes: Put the potatoes in a large pot and
cover them with water. Cook about 15 minutes or until just barely
cooked through. Now shock them in ice cold water to arrest the
cooking. Drain and dice them into 3/4-inch sized pieces. Mix the
remaining ingredients in a separate bowl. Pour them over the cooked
potatoes. Season to taste. Mix gently and allow to cool before
serving. For the plantain crema: Heat a medium-large saucepan on
medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and butter. When the butter melts
add the plantain slices. Allow them to cook until quite dark on each
side. Now add the chile and red onion and stir. When they are
softened add the vinegar and reduce for 30 seconds. Now add the cream
and reduce by 1/3. Stir as needed. Blend all together and strain
through a medium fine strainer. Set aside in a warm place. To serve:
Heat a grill or grill pan. Lightly oil grill to prevent sticking.
Grill the shrimp until just done. Place the cool potatoes in the
middle of each plate or on to a "family" styled serving platter.
Spoon some of the prepared plantain crema on each plate, (or platter)
and top with the shrimp. Serve. Can be garnished with fried plantain
crisps and lime wedges. This recipe yields 4 servings.
