ADOBO STYLE SHRIMP (FILIPINO)

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

Ingredients

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.

Tips:

To properly clean shrimp, remove the head, legs, and shell. Make a shallow incision along the back of the shrimp and remove the vein.
Using quality soy sauce and vinegar is key to achieving the perfect balance of flavors. Look for brands that are naturally brewed and have a rich, deep taste.
Marinating the shrimp in the soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, and pepper mixture for at least 30 minutes helps tenderize the shrimp and infuse it with flavor.
When sautéing the shrimp, use a large skillet or wok to prevent overcrowding. This will ensure that the shrimp cooks evenly and doesn't steam.
Cook the shrimp over medium-high heat until they turn pink and opaque. Overcooking will toughen the shrimp.
Add the remaining marinade and the bay leaves to the skillet and bring to a simmer. This will further enhance the flavor of the shrimp.
Serve the adobong hipon immediately with steamed rice and your favorite side dishes.

Conclusion:

Adobong hipon is a classic Filipino dish that is easy to make and packed with flavor. The combination of tangy vinegar, savory soy sauce, and aromatic garlic and pepper creates a delicious marinade that tenderizes the shrimp and infuses it with flavor. This dish is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal or as an appetizer for a party. With its simple ingredients and delicious taste, adobong hipon is sure to become a favorite in your household.
