Craving for prawn

Today, I am craving for prawn or big shrimps. In the Philippines we just go to the market early in the morning and go to our favorite seafood vendor and there it is your fresh seafood is waiting for you.

I had bought several packs of prawns here  but it is already frozen. It is very different when it is fresh and you can see it is still moving or jumping ^_^.  This photo was taken the last time I visited my family in the  Philippines. To cooked this we put 7-up and just salt. The 7-up make the prawn a bit sweet but not too sweet it just enhance a real good taste. And with a lot of hot rice I am so happy with this food.

Power Meal

This is our meal today. My malunggay plant is producing a lot of leaves and I had prawns that I bought yesterday with mongo beans a power meal was born.

I loved seafood in any shape or color hehe. I think because back in Pinas we have an abundant supply of seafoods. One time hubby went to visit me in Pinas I cooked for him a what we call shrimp scampi. I bought the big shrimp or prawn in the market fresh and let hubby took off the skin so he knew how it takes to eat a good scampi you have to do much effort to taste a good food. But when he ate my version of shrimpi scampi he craves for it all the time he was there. When I get here he asked me one time if I can make the  shrimp scampi so off we go to the supermarket but to my disappointment the shrimps are frozen don't know how many centuries it was inside the freezer but because he wanted shrimp scampi I cooked for him. It came out good too but because the shrimp is frozen and not fresh it doesn't pass to my standard hehehehe! Hubby noticed it too I explained to him the difference of a fresh seafood and the frozen ones even though I read somehere that a frozen seafood are still good as fresh but for me who live close to the sea water or dagat naku iba ang lasa sa fresh!!

And because hubby like shrimps I made another version of how to cook shrimps. I didn't make another scampi but I cooked a different one I just call it guisadong shrimp, which I only cook it with 7-up, garlic, onion, salt and pepper to taste. Voila it come out good enough for a craving person hehe.
