Anyone have a recipe for a nonmeat main dish

I'm not sure what I'm looking for - nothing fishy - maybe shrimp. Any suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks.

I make this shrimp thing..I dont even know what to call it.... maybe 'shrimp cups' anyway,

1 lb shrimp, diced into bite sized pieces
1 large red onion - diced
1 large green pepper - diced
1 large red pepper - diced
2 Tblsp olive oil
2 packets of Sazon (culantro and achoite) sp?
1/2 can tomato sauce
3 Tblsp Spanish Sofrito
4-5 green plantains (not sweet)

In a deep sauce pan, combine olive oil, sofrito, onion, peppers, and packets of sazon. Let simmer. Add tomato sauce. (if its too thick you can add 2-3 Tbsp of water) Bring back to simmer and add shrimp. Simmer on low and stir occasionally until shrimp are cooked. Salt and pepper to taste. While that is cooking, peel your plantains and cut into 2 inch pieces. Using a deep fryer (or large fryer) - fry half way thru and remove. Here's a little tricky part - using a 'tostonera' (little gadge that makes 'cup-like' mold of plantain-you can find it in supermarket) make a cup shaped plantain, place back in fryer and completely cook thru. Once you've fried all your 'cups' let sit for 5 mins. on paper towels to remove any excess oil - then fill them with the shrimp mixture and enjoy. Theyre delicious.
