Halabos na Hipon is the easiest, simplest dish I know because it uses only salt to cook it and it takes about 10 minutes to cook. This is my go to dish whenever I see the freshest shrimp at the palengke. My nanay makes this yummy sampaloc sauce whenever she cooks this and my love for sour dishes made it one of my favorites. Now, this is one of my family’s favorite dishes as well.

Do you also cook Halabos na Hipon at home? Do you cook it with 7 Up or Sprite or the traditional salt and a bit of water only?
