Tips on How to Make Ginataang Hipon
○ You can certainly peel the shrimp if you prefer, but I suggest keeping them intact for maximum taste and best texture. The heads carry lots of flavor and the shells keep the shrimp meat from overcooking.
○ You can either make this dish with plenty of sauce to spoon over rice or dry until it begins to render fat. If you prefer a thicker consistency, reduce the coconut milk to half before adding the shrimp to prevent them from overcooking.
○ Simmer the sauce on low heat and do not bring to a boil to keep it from curdling or separating.
○ Make the dish more hearty and nutritious by adding your choice of vegetables such as spinach, string beans, squash, eggplant, radish, bitter melon or cabbage.
