How to cook Shrimp Paste with Green Mango

| Shrimp Paste with Green Mango (Manggang Hilaw with Alamang) |
Alamang
is the best partner of Kare-Kare, Pinakbet, unripe mango and many other
delicious Filipino dishes. It has a bit
of fishy smell and if you are new you may not endure the smell.
But, for many Filipinos we love Alamang. Anyway, Alamang means Shrimp sauce or Shrimp paste but it's not as sticky as other paste products. It's is like watery. See the picture below. That is how it looks like.

You
know what is the best partner for this recipe? Well no other than Unripe mango.
It
is so popular as one of the street foods in the Philippines. Today, I cooked
Alamang sauce with Unripe Mango. You can choose in any slice of mango, it's up
to you.

In
my video and this recipe I sliced into thin small pieces like you see in my
picture.
So, here are the ingredients below:
Shrimp
Paste (Alamang)
Garlic
(minced)
Cooking
Oil (you can use any type of oil, I just use vegetable oil here)
Sugar
(brown or white will do)
Vinegar
Chili
(Optional)
Cooking
Procedure:
1.
Heat the pan
2.
Saute Garlic
3.
Add Shrimp Paste (Alamang), cook a little.
4.
Add Vinegar then stir.
5.
Add Sugar and stir until Shrimp is cooked and becomes brown or maroon in color.
6.
Taste and add sugar/vinegar if it is needed.
7.
Add Chili if you like.
8.
Serve it with unripe Mango.
Note:
The
result of the recipe would be not watery, oily and too sticky but it should be
okay like you see in my video and picture.
You
just have to adjust by adding vinegar if it is too sticky and if it is salty
then add a little bit of sugar.
Then
you will see the red, brown or maroon color after you have cooked it. That’s
it. We’re done!
