Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Saute the garlic, ham, scallion, cilantro, olives, juice, tomato puree and tomato sauce over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink. Set aside. Peel the plantains and cut them into 1/2-inch slices. Heat the corn oil and cook the plantains until golden brown.
