Buttered shrimp recipe (Dampa style)

It has been a busy Sunday!  Bug and I started our day with an 8 am mass. We were suppose to have brekkie at McD's but Bug thought we still have left overs from last night, so we headed home instead. 

After brekkie, few household chores and internet, we then left for a friend's son's Christening. The host serve Filipino food and i so love the dessert! yum!

When we arrived home, I decided to check our fridge and think of what dinner to cook.  I settled for the prawns we bought from PaknSave last Friday! So here is our dinner!

 
Ingredients:
2 lbs prawns
1/4 cup butter
7-8 cloves garlic, finely minced
2 tbsp parsley
1-2 tbsp oyster sauce
1-2 tbsp soy sauce
1 cup sprite or 7-up
salt
pepper

Procedure:
1. Marinate the prawns to the sprite or 7-up;
2. Melt the butter in pan and heat it until hot enough for the garlic (I usually put a tsp of olive oil so the butter won't burn);
3. Add the garlic until it turns to golden brown;
4. Put in the shrimp including the marinate (let it cook until the liquid completely evaporates);
5. Add the oyster sauce and soy sauce;
6. Sprinkle the parsley, black pepper and salt;
7. Serve with rice.

Enjoy!!

Thai deep fried ribs

Zap is our favorite Thai place here in Auckland.  We love their deep friend pork ribs. We normally order one serving of this dish plus 2 plate of rice and we're solved! However, lately, we notice that they started minimising their servings.  They used to serve 15-20 mini spare ribs but now they only serve 10 spare ribs. I think they realised our strategy to save $$$. Oh well, being the frugal that we are, we searched the recipe in the net and tried cooking our own version.  It took me 3 trials to get the exact version, but all good now. So I'm confident to share the recipe now!  So here we go!!

Ingredients:
Pork spare ribs (about 20 pcs when chopped)
7-8 cloves of garlic, chopped in very small pieces, finely minced
1 tsp coriander leaves, minced
3-4 table spoon of fish sauce
1/4 -1/2 tsp of salt
pepper
1 egg, beaten
4-5 table spoon flour

1. Rub all the ingredients to the spare ribs and marinate in the fridge for one - two hours;
2. Once you are ready to cook add the egg and the flour to the mixture;
3. Coat the ribs with the egg and flour mixture;
4. Heat up the deep fryer and add the ribs in batches (oil should fully cover the ribs to cook well);
5. Serve with rice.

I usually put fish sauce or patis with chili as my dip ("sawsawan") while eating it with rice! yum!

Enjoy!
