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: An Ilonggo all-time favorite

Simple Pochero Ilonggo

POCHERO. The most familiar recipes are the ones stewed with tomatoes (or tomato sauce) or the Cebu variant which is like bulalo or nilaga, but the pochero I grew up with is just very simple. It's just pork cooked with potatoes and/or saba (cooking banana) with kamote tops or pechay. I just love the mild sweetness of the broth brought about by the bananas to the savory broth. Or sometimes, it tends lean more of the tomato based recipe, just without the tomato itself or sauce. The recipe is just very simple - just boil the pork first until tender. Add the "hard" veggies like potatoes, saba, carrots, etc then finally when the leafy veggies when its almost done. Just season it with salt or broth cubes for a savory broth.

Simple Bukayo

Bukayo is a native Filipino delicacy which is made mainly with coconut strips and sugar.

Both share almost the same recipe with some more or less tweaks to make the other. Here's a Recipe to make the Dry-type Bukayo. Ingredients 3 cups Young coconut meat, shredded 2 cups Muscovado Sugar, adjust 1/2 cup Coconut juice or plain water Vanilla extract Calamansi rind (optional) How to make Bukayo In a wok, place coconut juice or water and sugar then mix thoroughly.
