Rainforest Cafe Authentic Mogambo Shrimp Recipes

Steps:

• Prepare penne as directed.
• While penne is cooking, heat olive oil in heavy sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add sun dried tomatoes, mushroom and shrimp. Sauté for one minute. Add garlic sauté until garlic is golden-brown and shrimp are cooked through.
• Add Alfredo sauce and peas, stirring frequently until sauce is warm.
• Remove from heat and add drained penne to pan, stirring until pastia is well-cooked.
• Divide between 2 bowls and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
• Serve immediately with focaccia triangles or garlic bread.

Steps:

• Make the mofongo: Fit a large pot with deep-fry thermometer. Pour in enough canola oil to reach 2 inches up the side of the pan. Heat over medium-high until thermometer registers 325 degrees. Add plantains and fry, turning occasionally, until golden brown, 4 to 6 minutes. Carefully transfer plantains to a paper-towel-lined rimmed baking sheet to drain.
• In a mortar and pestle, smash 2 garlic cloves, making sure you have a thin coating of garlic on the bottom. Transfer plantains to the mortar, add adobo seasoning and pork rinds and mash until softened and well combined.
• Make the shrimp: Place the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add 4 smashed garlic cloves and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute, stirring frequently so the garlic doesn't burn.
• Add the shrimp and cook until pink and opaque, 30 seconds to 1 minute on each side. Pour in wine and lemon juice and let reduce on low heat until a thick sauce forms, about 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Firmly pack the mofongo into a small bowl to mold and turn over onto a plate. Spoon the shrimp and sauce on top of the mofongo and garnish with cilantro. Serve immediately.
