Ingredients

  • 1 pound head-on large shrimp
  • 7 large ripe guavas
  • 5 cups water
  • 1 onion, peeled and quartered
  • salt to taste
  • 1 bunch kangkong (water spinach)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Trim tendrils off shrimp. Wash and drain well.
  2. Cut into guavas into halves and using a small spoon, scoop out the seeds.
  3. In a bowl, combine guava seeds and pulp and 1 cup of the water. Using the back of a spoon, mash to extract pulp and strain in a fine-mesh sieve. Reserve the guava juice and discard the seeds.
  4. Trim about 2 inches from the kangkong stalks and discard. Cut kangkong into 3-inch lengths, separating the sturdier stalks from the leaves. Wash thoroughly and drain well. Set aside.
  5. In a large pot over medium heat, combine the remaining 4 cups water, onion, and guavas. Bring to a boil. Lower heat, cover and simmer until guavas begin to soften.
  6. Add the extracted guava juice.
  7. Add shrimp and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes or until shrimp change color and are cooked through.
  8. Season with salt to taste.
  9. Add kangkong and cook for about 30 seconds or until just wilted. Serve hot.

Notes

  • For a delicious balance of sour and sweet fruit taste, use a mix of ripe and still green guavas.
  • To add depth of flavor, replace the water with rice washing.
