Simple Butter-Garlic Shrimps

Shrimps of often end up cooked simply in a halabos recipe so that every flavor of the seafood is enjoyed on its own.


Or it could be in a sour sour we all love - sinigang! But here's another recipe  though simple as it may sound, it tends to be more flavourful than it looks like. 

Here's a simple recipe in making Garlic Butter Shrimps


Ingredients
  • 3/4 kilo medium shrimps, washed and cleaned (shell on)
  • 1 whole head of garlic, chopped
  • 1-2 Tablespoon/s Butter
  • 3/4 cup Lemon Soda  
  • Salt and Pepper, to taste
 How to cook Butter Garlic Shrimps
  1. In a pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
  2. Add crushed garlic and cook for a minute minute.
  3. Pour in the lemon soda then add the shrimps
  4. Cook for about 10-12 minutes or until shrimps turn orange
  5. Season with salt and pepper.
This could be the simplest recipe for garlic Butter Shrimps - almost like the halabos recipe with just garlic an butter. But you can adapt this Spicy Garlic Butter Prawns recipe for the shrimps. Enjoy!

Valenciana

Ilonggos really love valenciana because most if not all have grown accustomed of having it in almost all occasions like fiesta, brithdays, reunions and all other occasions thus I love calling it as the "occasional dish".   Basically, " go, grow and glow " dish, it has the carbohydrates, protein and vitamins and minerals in just one spoonful. And it can come in its simplest form with just malagkit rice, pork, chorizo and bell peppers to some fancy with additions like raisins, peas, chicken, hardboiled egg (just garnish though), etc.  Here's the recipe for Valenciana Ingredients 3 cups Glutinous Rice ( malagkit ) 2 cups Pork, sliced 1 cup Pork, Beef or Chicken  Liver, sliced 2-3 pieces Chinese sausage, sliced 2-3 large red bell peppers, sliced lengthwise 1 cup Green Peas 3 small boxes Raisins 2 pcs.Onion, chopped 4 cloves garlic, crushed salt and ground pepper to taste  2 pcs. pork/chicken bouillon/broth cube

Native Bibingka

There are two types of bingka I've grown up with. First is the flat and "coconutty" ( with lots of buko strips) bingka made famous by the bingkahans in the plazas of Iloilo City especially in Molo and Jaro plus Plaza Libertad. But the most famous is the one in Mohon, Arevalo which gave birth to the popular bingka sa Mohon. Flat bingka from Mohon And second is the one closer to home, in my hometown which before only appears during Semana Santa but now almost year round. This is what we refer to a puto-bingka as it looks and taste like toasted puto. Here's a sample recipe of this Puto-Bingka

Laswa

Mention laswa  and a merry mix of vegetables would come to mind. This is a perfect "realization" of the Filipino folk song "Bahay Kubo" which narrates an abundance of vegetables beside the traditional Filipino hut. Laswa has no definite list of ingredients nor way or cooking as it is just "stewing" available vegetables, not only from the garden, but what's inside your fridge or you bought from the market. It ranges from the simple all vegetable dish to ones having seafood like shrimps, crabs and more. But in the end it all boils ( pun intended ) down to what you prefer at the same time, what is available. Here's a simple recipe for Laswa
