Instructions

In a wide pan over medium heat, heat oil. Add onions and garlic and cook until softened.
Add tomato and cook, mashing with the back of a spoon, until softened and release juice.
Add shrimp and cook just until the color changes to pink.
Add water and oyster sauce. Stir to disperse and bring to a boil.
Add sayote. Lower heat, cover, and simmer for about 8 to 10 minutes or until tender yet crisp.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.

Notes

The sayote fruit has a sticky resin that can irritate the skin. Use gloves when peeling and cutting. Or slice off the top of the sayote and rub on the cut part of the chayote in a circular motion for about 30 seconds. The transparent sap/liquid will turn into a white, foam-like consistency to remove the stickiness.
