We are familiar with the Japanese Tempura but in our country we have our own version. A clash of cultures and influence that brought about this recipe. Prepared in a Chinese way and has a name in Spanish which means shrimp overflow. A dish which is uniquely Filipino.

Recipe

Easy to prepare and any type of shrimp would do.

Ingredients:

Shrimp - Depends on you how much you could consume
Calamansi - Our local lemon or lime
Egg - You can use one but I use two
Salt - A teaspoon would do and you could sprinkle it like Salt Bae
Flour or Cornstarch - Some use both but I just use cornstarch same result in my observation
Oil - Of course as you would need to deep fry it.

Procedure:

1. Leaving the tails remove the shells of the shrimp. It's up to you if you would like to remove the veins from the back.
2. Mix the shrimp, calamansi and salt together
3. For the batter mix the egg, cornstarch and add a little water as needed.
4. Coat the shrimps with the batter leaving the tail without coating.
5. Heat up the oil and deep fry the shrimp. Make sure not to over cook around 3 minutes tops should do.
6. Remove from the oil and removing the excess oil by letting it set on paper napkins.

Sauce

You could just go out and buy a bottle of sweet and sour sauce or just use ketchup
But if you insist of making your own.

Ingredients:

1. Vinegar - Don't use too much
2. Ketchup - It's ok if you use too much
3. Soy Sauce - Just a table spoon would do. It's just for color and also a salt substitute
4. Brown Sugar - Use a lot which depends on you
5. Cornstarch - Use one spoonful and just add as needed for a thick texture

Procedure:

Now mix all the ingredients together and taste it. Just add a little bit of everything to fine tune it to your taste. You would know if you are satisfied taste it.

Heat up a sauce pan and pour in the sauce. Stir clockwise it is important because I said so.........that's a joke.
Now wait for it to thicken and enjoy.

Eat it with yourself or share with someone if you are not greedy. Don't forget the beer. Cheers!
