    a fried prawn sandwiched between fried plantians. servedwith a tomato and pepper salsa

    These Cameroon plantain and prawn rolls were delicious with the tomato, bell pepper and onion sauce.

    I had trouble making the plantains roll without breaking the pieces. I ended up plating just one prawn on a fried plantain with the sauce on top which made it much more manageable to eat.

    They were yummy and a wonderful way to start our Cameroon meal.
