Whenever I cook Laing, I usually cook Laing with Pork or without any meat at all because it’s usually paired with either fried fish or fried pork. It’s my first time to cook Laing with Shrimp.
Laing is a Filipino dish made of dried taro leaves with meat or seafood cooked in thick coconut milk spiced with labuyo chili. It can be dried (nagmamantika) or creamy with thick creamy sauce.

I used to love super spidy Laing but these days I don’t put chili na because I have LPRD ( Silent Reflux, a form of acid reflux) at bawal sa akin ang anything spicy. Another reason is, Twinkle is also eating this.
