This Crispy Shrimp Adobo Recipe or Crispy Adobong Hipon is my take in making a unique Shrimp Adobo dish. I got the inspiration from our Nilasing na Hipon Recipe, which I think is really good.

Crispy Shrimp Adobo

Instead of cooking the shrimp directly with vinegar and soy sauce, I used these seasonings as a marinade along with some minced garlic and ground black pepper. All that we need is to marinate the shrimp long enough to absorb the flavor. I tried using a mixture of AP flour and cornstarch to make the shrimp crispy when fried. I order to infuse the flavor and aroma of dried bay leaves and pepper to our dish, I devised a technique to capture the bay leaf and pepper flavors in the oil that we will use to fry our Crispy Shrimp Adobo. Actually, the technique is simple, all you need to do is put the bay leaves and whole pepper corn in the hot oil or simply deep frying them before you do the shrimp. The entire flavor will be released in the oil and the shrimp will catch them later on.

In this Shrimp Adobo Recipe, I used white wine vinegar and low sodium soy sauce because I want the flavor to be less intense. Do not worry if you donโ€™t have these ingredients on hand because you can always use dark soy sauce and white vinegar to cook this dish.

This delicious Crispy Shrimp Adobo or Crispy Adobong Hipon can be eaten as a main dish with rice or simply as a pulutan. I find it best when dipped in an Adobo dipping sauce. This sauce is composed of vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, and pepper.

Try this Crispy Shrimp Adobo Recipe (Adobong Hipon) and let me know what you think.

    I love your website! I learn a lot of Filipino recipes from it. I would really appreciate it if you if you could post a recipe for “putong puti” using rice instead of flour.

    This variation looks good. I bet that it tastes much better as your other fried shrimp recipe that I’ve tried. You make my kitchen life easier and my Filipino wife is always happy.
