Nilasing na Hipon

Nilasing na Hipon or Lasing na Hipon and even Drunken Shrimps to some is simply shrimp marinated in wine or liquor. Some of my friends use beer to marinade the shrimps…well, this is also fine but the use of wine or liquor is best.

This can be an appetizer (pulutan) and a main dish; it is best served with spicy vinegar (such as sukang paombong). A favorite Filipino Food and “Filipino Pulutan” of the “barkada” , this dish is almost always available in restaurants and bars. Do they also have this in beer houses in the Philippines?

For those of you who are concerned on the amount of cholesterol in shrimp, fear not. According to an article published in CNN that is based on a study published in the American Journal of clinical Nutrition, Shrimp is still good for you despite of its cholesterol content.
