Hi guys. Theres another dipping sauce which i always enjoy preparing whenever my family is having steamed live shrimps(suahe) on sundays. Heat 1 1/2 canola oil in a wok. Once you see smoke rising from the wok(really really hot), pour the super heated oil in a small bowl with 2 tbsp chopped garlic in it. Add half cup of good soy sauce and put a few wansoy leaves and chopped sili.I prefer using light superior soy sauce which i normally buy at this chinese vegetable dealer at Farmers market in Cubao for P60. Pouring just a bit of sesame oil on the shrimps while it is still hot will brighten up the taste and appearance as well! Happy eating!!!:)

My late father, a Tagalog, used what he called sibuyas tagalog (what is it in English?) with good nipa vinegar and plenty of chili. Yumyum!

Peeling and eating with your hands is a must! ..love this line!!!
We were once in Genoa and I have a cousin who joined us freom the Philippines who is well mannered -raised properly ;-) that she was using fork and knife on crab and shimps.
So what I told her? IF YOU WANT TO ENJOY EVERY BIT OF THAT FOOD, USE YOUR FINGERS!
I am having an awakening… years of allergy on and off with shrimps..but since coming here in Oslo I dont itch anymore
Its really like OH MY GOD! Hard to describe my feeling…

try garlic butter sauce sauted with spring onions…

Steamed shrimps’ my #1 all time fave food. I can eat platefulls of this dish. My Mom would also cook live shrimps in a wok with a little oil, add salt and voila! Just too yummy for words. Have to cook one for myself today. The write-up made me crave for it. Thanks marketman!
