Adobo Style Shrimp (Filipino) image

Yes, you can pretty much "adobo" anything. Here is an adapted recipe I found somewhere online that I tweaked a bit here and there. [The original recipe contained MSG as one of the ingredients.] I don't know if this is "authentic" per se, because all cooks have their own preferences, but it does follow the basic recipe. Hope you enjoy!

Time 11m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb medium shrimp, unshelled
1/2 cup vinegar
1/4 cup water
1/8 cup soy sauce
5 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons cooking oil (or as you see fit)
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons scallions, to garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Wash shrimp and cut off whiskers. Drain.
  • Place in pan or wok, add all ingredients except sugar and cooking oil.
  • Cook shrimp until not quite cooked on MED HEAT, maybe 2-4 minutes depending on your shrimp size.
  • Drain shrimp (along with garlic). Set sauce aside, and add the sugar.
  • Heat cooking oil and fry shrimp and garlic together on MED LOW HEAT.
  • When garlic is lightly browned, return the sauce to the pan and finish cooking shrimp.
  • [Be sure to not overcook the shrimp-- you can tell if they turn into little O's" instead of C's].
  • [Note: If you want a spicy "adobo", add 1 tablespoon of hot sauce or 1-2 minced hot peppers of your preference.].
  • Put on serving platter and garnish with chopped scallions (optional).
  • Serve with steamed Jasmine rice.

I'm not sure about this recipe. The combination of flavors seems a bit strange to me.

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The shrimp cooks in just a few minutes, and the sauce comes together quickly.

I'm not usually a fan of shrimp, but this dish changed my mind. The adobo sauce was so flavorful and addictive, I couldn't stop eating it.

The shrimp was cooked perfectly - tender and juicy. The sauce was also very tasty, with a nice balance of flavors.

This adobo-style shrimp is a must-try for seafood lovers! The combination of tangy, savory, and slightly sweet flavors is simply irresistible. I served it with rice and vegetables, and it was a hit with my family.
