Sauteed Shrimp

Sauteed Shrimp

( Ginisang Hipon)

Shrimp is one of my favorite seafood, I like to cook in different way I could, this time I'd like to keep it simple and short, As I would say " simplest  flavor is the best" 

 My Mom taught me how to make this dish, when I was growing up, and the process is very simple. Since,  then I always cook my shrimp the way my Mom cooked it, I still remember the taste of it and its simply delicious. Its very simple process and very fast! I'll show you how east it is to make it.:)

Ingredients:

1/2 lb.Shrimp

 3 tablespoon vinegar

Salt and Pepper- to taste

Parsley- I used dried parsley

2 tablespoon Oil 

4 tablespoon water

 Directions:

1.)Combine all the ingredients, toss and saute on top of stove until shrimp are cooked. 

2.) Stir with spatula and serve with rice.

Tips:

Just remember when the shrimp turn letter "C" and the color change into orange, It means its COOK! 

Shrimp doesn't take long to cook I would between 3-6 minutes depend how much shrimp you're cooking.
