The Basics
- Shrimp with shells; about a handful or so

This is a Filipino meat dish. The sauce has a peanut butter taste and look. It’s one of my favorites! =) I like using the Mama Sita’s sauce packages because it’s just easier (and cheaper) than buying all the separate spices to make it from scratch.
