"Nilusgusan na Pasayan"

This is what my Nanay (Auntie) call this dish but I don't actually know the meaning of the word "nilusgusan", basta for her, as long as you cook your prawns with Sprite or Soy sauce it is called "nilusgusan". This is one of the first few dish that i learned to cook during High School, with matching instructions written in a sheet of paper from my Mama. Right now i'm trying different dishes using prawns and sadly, I only made 3 due to the rising cost of prawns and the limitation of my time (I only cook during weekends) .

And just this Sunday we had our TUP-V_Cebu Chapter Reunion at Hadsan Beach Resort, our group LEAR Corporation pledged a viand and a variety of fruits for the activity. Since all kinds of lechon we're already on the list it gave us no choice but to have seafoods even if its costly, good thing that there are lots of TUP-Vians here at Lear so we have accumulated a good amount of money for the prawns, and that's how we came up with Nilusgusan na Pasayan due to its few ingredients and easy to cook.


Menu for the day: "Nilusgusan na Pasayan"

Ingredients:
butter/oil
1/2K prawns, cleaned
1pc ginger, sliced
1pc spring onions, chopped
1/4cup soy sauce
2cups Sprite (softdrink)
salt

Procedure:

1. Heat oil in a pan. Sautee ginger until aroma comes out. Add prawns and wait until it turns pink.

2. Add soy sauce and Sprite, let it boil for a few minutes.

3. Season with salt. Taste should be sweet and have a tang (because of soy sauce).

4. If done, add spring onions on top. Serve hot.


Oh, i have to add, for the amount of sauce or "sabaw" on your prawns it really depends on who will eat the food, because others like it with "sabaw", others do not. You can discard the "sabaw" if you want, its your choice. =)


Btw, here are my schoolmate's comment on the food:
- nami man dyapon pero mas namit ang una na my butter kg gamay ang sabaw.. (so i guess i'll stick with butter in sautee-ing the prawns huh?? I will next time, basta dili na 3kilos ang lutuon.. makulangan nya ta sa budget.. hehe..)
- two thumbs up!!


Thanks for the comment guys, til' next food trip! =)
