Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
Zest and juice from 1 lime
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons cilantro, finely chopped
Your favorite frozen tostones, cooked according to package instructions
Note: If you’re using larger shrimp, you can cut them down in half or thirds so they fit on your tostones better.
