Spicy Ginataang Hipon Recipe

I personally think that most ginataan main dishes are delicious. I even like it better when there is at least a bit of heat added into it. This Spicy Ginataang Hipon is a good example. Shrimp cooked in coconut milk is undeniably yummy, but it gets better when chili peppers are added.

Ingredients

• 1 ½ lb. medium shrimp (with head and shells on)
• 1 pack Knorr Ginataang Gulay mix
• 3 pieces long green pepper (siling pansigang), sliced into thin pieces
• 2 to 5 pieces bird’s eye chili (siling labuyo), chopped
• 2 thumbs ginger, minced
• 1 medium onion, sliced
• ½ cup chopped scallions
• 4 cloves garlic, crushed
• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
• ¾ cup lukewarm water

2. Heat oil in a pot
3. Sauté garlic, onion, and ginger
4. Once the onion starts to get soft, add the green pepper, scallions, and chili. Stir and continue to cook for 1 minute.
