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!

SHRIMP IN ADOBO SAUCE



Shrimp in Adobo Sauce image

Shrimp a la diabla ("devil shrimp") is a very popular spicy shrimp dish in Manzanillo, Mexico. After visiting I searched the internet for a recipe, and this was the closest I found. It is traditionally served with rice and vegetables (usually a mix of lightly steamed broccoli and carrots.) I haven't tried this recipe yet but it sounds delicious.
