Halabos na Hipon with Garlic Chilli Sauce

Halabos Na Hipon
Halabos na Hipon is a simple way of cooking shrimp or prawns. The hipon are steamed with their own juices and stir cooked with a little oil. Here is my halabos na hipon with a little twist. I would have preferred to use prawns but they are pricey. Here is how I cooked it, I steamed the large shrimp with the usual Sprite I used lemon flavored, butter garlic and garlic chilli sauce. The garlic chilli sauce enhances the garlicky flavor and adds a little heat to the halabos. Enjoy.

Ingredients:

    Hi c2,
    Thanks for highlighting the omission, the crushed garlic should be added together with the other ingredients. I have now rectified the error.
