Ginataang kalabasa, sitaw at hipon is one dish I like to cook with the shrimps’ shell left intact.  Although it’s a bit messier, I find it a far more delicious experience when I get down and dirty with my hands and suck on heads, err, shrimp heads. Because really, what can be a better gustatory delight than tapping our rice-encrusted fingers on the plate, peeling shrimps and spooning that rich coconut sauce as we go?

    I finally made it perfect! I used frozen coconut milk (because I didn’t like the preservative in canned coconut milk) and regular string beans (my store didn’t have the long ones), and peeled shrimp was what I had. It turned out great! Next time I’ll try with chili pepper and see the difference. 😉 Thanks po ate Lalaine!

      Hello Bamba

      Yes, you can use coconut milk in a can. That’s what I use, hard to find freshly grated coconut here in the U.S. 🙂

    Hi Lalaine, I’ve been an avid fan of your blog for almost a year now.. I owe you a lot of the credit that Ive been getting from my family… your recipes are my number one “go to” every time it’s my turn to cook dinner (twice a week that is). I finally tried this giinataang shrimp recipe last Friday since it was holy week and we were only eating seafood…it was my first try but boy oh boy did it hit the spot! My GF said “sauce palang..ulam na!” You are awesome…I enjoy reading your mini stories in every recipes…keep it up! =)
