Halabos

Talk about seafoods and shrimp will definitely one of the top 5 mentions.  It’s one of my favourite, however I do not eat that often as it is high in cholesterol content. But whenever I cook, halabos is the easiest way to do it.  All you need for this recipe are:

EVOO, Sprite, garlic

  • > 1/2 kg medium sized shrimps, cleaned
  • > 100 ml sprite, at room temperature
  • > 3 tablespoons EVOO (extra-virgin olive oil)
  • > 4 cloves garlic, chopped
  • > Salt & pepper

 

 

  • Put the shrimp in a shallow pan, add the sprite, sprinkle with some salt & pepper.
  • Cook for about 3 minutes in the liquid or until the shrimp turns pinkish.  Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.
  • Remove the remaining liquid in the pan.  Add the EVOO and sauté the garlic. (Butter can be used instead of EVOO but I just feel healthy using the latter)
  • Put back the shrimp and sauté for another 3 minutes.
  • Serve with tomato slices or soy sauce with a bit of lemon juice.
