GINATAANG HIPON NA MAY KALABASA AT SITAW

Ginataang Hipon na may Kalabasa at Sitaw is a well known delicious shrimp and vegetable dish that most of us Filipinos grow up with. Ginataan refers to any dish cooked in coconut milk or coconut cream. This dish uses of shrimps with shells and head on, string beans and squash.

Coconut milk is used in many Filipino recipes because it makes the dish richer and creamier. It also emphasizes the taste of the ingredients that you are using. 

Aside from the flavor of the main ingredients, i am also using other ingredients that can help improve the overall flavor of the dish, as far as ginataan dishes are concerned. I am using fish sauce (patis) for this dish.
