Wow! After an unnoticed hibernation for five months, I'm back and ready to blog! And what better way to start off than sharing a gastronomic treat to everyone.
On the first Saturday without our mom (no worries, she's only lavishing herself on vacation in Cali...), our hearts (and tummies) seemed to feel a certain, unexplainable, vacuum-like sadness that made all of us idle. As the official cook (unfortunately, there's no one else), I felt pressured into making something extra-ordinary for the kids. Stuff in the ref and cupboard didn't help and then all of a sudden I heard the most enticing sound...the sound of joy "Pasayan!!!! Lukon!!!!" Without a shadow of doubt, I am saved by the succulent swimming crustaceans!
For P280 (that's 800 grams of prawns), my journey to happy tummies began.
These faces cannot hide the fact that I did a good job. And since I can't afford to share the prawns with everybody, here's a consolation prize... A fool-proof recipe of "Linusgusan nga Lukon".
1 whole garlic chopped
3 Tbps. Star Margarine (garlic flavor)
1 tsp. rock salt
1 Tbps. Worcestershire Sauce
1 tsp. Knorr seasoning
1 tsp. soy sauce
8 oz. Sprite
Saute the garlic til brown in a little oil before putting the margarine to avoid burning the latter.
Add prawns and season with salt.
As soon as the prawns starts changing colors, add worcestershire, knorr seasoning and soy sauce and then wait for it to turn completely orange.
Then add Sprite and let it simmer until there's only enough sauce to make sure that the lemon flavor really gets into the prawns (15-20 minutes will do)
Happy Cooking!
