It is best served while mofongo is still hot. Add the shrimp and remaining garlic, season with salt and pepper and cook over high heat, stirring.

I personally love to serve Mofongo with Creole Sauce - and this Creole Sauce recipe is one of the easiest and most delicious I've found! Super simple and easy to make in just one pot.
