Shrimps and Tuna

Some people find shrimps and tuna boring. Most of the time they can be seen in plates of people who are health conscious and body builders as well because they cling to shrimps and tuna as their source of protein.

But with a dad who's more than amazing when it comes to cooking, who said that shrimps and tuna are boring?! :p Here are what we had last Sunday, another seafood feast with Shrimps and Tuna as the stars of the feast.

Seafood Feast

The first dish that my dad made out of the shrimps was the Okoy or Shrimp Fritters. The shrimps were mixed with a batter (water, eggs, flour, and spices) and were then fried to perfection until crisp.

A dip into a mixture of vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, onions, and spring onions will surely make the Okoy more delectable. A very popular Filipino snack, the Okoy also goes well with a cup of steamed white rice. :)

Another shrimp dish that daddy made was the Nilasing na Hipon. The shrimps were marinated in brandy, they were then drained and breaded, and then deep fried until crisp and golden brown.

Daddy also made two tuna dishes: Tuna Meatballs and Tuna Sisig. He basically did the same mixture for both dishes...

...and just added in some mayonnaise and chili for the tuna sisig. Watch out for the recipes! Will post them soon. :)

To make the feast complete, daddy also added this equally sumptuous Mussels Soup.

Unfortunately I didn't get to taste each dish, so I still had veggies for lunch. I just had my mind do its work and imagined that I was eating those yummy shrimps and tuna! Hahaha! :p
