Fish with Blackbeans
After cooking a dish a couple of times, and introducing some of your own innovations, it becomes yours. Like this Fish with Blackbeans and Tofu which has become one of mine and Spouse’s favorites. This recipe is based on a couple of recipes I used in the past. It’s evolved to be a [...]
Shrimp Gambas
I made this easy Shrimp Gambas to go with my shrimp-less paella from yesterday. For starters, I took some 200 grams of peeled shrimp and just heated some olive oil in a pan and stir-fried them with some crushed garlic, salt and white pepper. Soon as I spied some browning in the shrimps, I turned [...]
Shrimp Garlic Pasta
Food allergies are a terrible thing to live with, especially if it’s shrimp and crustaceans you cannot eat anymore! Does one really have a choice when the last lobster meal I had sent me to the emergency room half dead? Goodness, but hat meal was worth it…. Spouse loves shrimps. He has a nose like [...]
Fish And Chips
I’m back and it’s all because my 93-year old uncle found my blog when he entered his name on google and found a post I wrote a couple of years back about our family and soybeans. Go check it out to understand the strange connection. Now, I’m in touch through email with my cousin like [...]
Fish Steaks
The Philippines has over 7,100 islands and you bet we eat a lot of fish and seafood, aside from rice of course. If you are in the Philippines and thinking of having steaks for dinner, your best bet is fresh fish steaks in calamansi butter sauce.
Binalot, a Dish from Bicol
Another entry for Lasang Pinoy’s 20th Edition titled “Binalot – All Wrapped Up!”. This dish is simply called “Binalot” by Bicolanos. It’s shrimp and coconut meat wrapped in gabi leaves then stewed and braised in coconut cream and herbs and spices.
LP 20: Ginataang Tilapia
This is the first of a series for the Lasang Pinoy Edition 20: Binalot, All Wrapped Up! I’m hosting this month’s event and while I thought it might be interesting, I had no clue what I was in for! This was actually the easiest dish I made so I’m posting it first. The dishes I [...]
Asparagus and Scallop Spaghetti
My inspiration for this dish was the Shrimp and Scallops Pasta Spouse had at Cucina Colore last month. It looked so good but I couldn’t taste it because it had shrimps. Of course, there’s always a way to re-create a dish to suit you and so I did…and I even made it better [...]
Shrimp Fried Rice
Think about this…Fried Rice is probably the most unique dish that comes out of your kitchen. What’s in your fried rice all depends on what’s in your refrigerator and that will differ from household to household and even from time to time…because we never have all the same leftovers.
Everyday Filipino: Shrimp Sinigang for One
I made this Shrimp Sinigang for one the other day. This is probably Spouse’s favorite Filipino dish and I very seldom cook it owing to my shrimp allergy. But some days, Spouse will get lucky…. Sinigang is a popular Filipino dish I featured in a previous post. We sometimes mix shrimps with milkfish and that [...]
Shrimp Salad
This Shrimp Salad definitely qualifies as an easy summer lunch. It requires a minimum of cooking, plus, it’s very light and cooling on a hot summer day. I love that it looks so appetizing too. There have been heatwaves in both US coasts the last few weeks. Thankfully, the summer has been pretty mild [...]
Fish in Garlic, Olive and Lemon Butter Sauce
Spouse and I have been eating too much pork lately so I thought this would be a nice change from the usual. I fried this rockfish in olive oil and was not so sure what to do with it. Then I looked for some capers and found I was out…so I ended up substituting [...]
