Filipino Food: Cooking Recipe #01 "Savory Ginataang Kalabasa at Sitaw"

I cooked this dish a while ago for our Lunch..
Generally my kids didn't like vegetables. But they do love shrimp. So I decided to cook ginataang gulay instead of shrimp alone.

Cooking these vegetables in coconut milk is very delicious. It has a taste of creamy and salty plus the shrimp taste.. ahhh.! deliciouso.
