Ginisang Ampalaya with Shrimp (Sauteed Bitter Gourd)

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Ginisang Ampalaya with Shrimp (or sautéed bitter gourd) is a simple yet nutritious dish that you can prepare for lunch. This recipe involves bitter gourd (also called bitter melon), which is a type of vegetable that is known to have a lot of nutritional value. It also makes use of shrimp.

Ginisang Ampalaya

Bitter gourds are really bitter. I am sure that there is a reason why this vegetable was named that way. However, it is packed with nutrients and it is said that this vegetable can help cleanse the blood. To me, eating bitter gourd was an acquired taste. I needed to force myself to finish a serving during my younger years, and then I immediately got used to it. However, I still think that some varieties are really bitter for me — so I rub some salt to get the bitter taste out before cooking.

Ginisang Ampalaya with Shrimp is best served with warm white rice. This dish can be enhanced by adding fish sauce (and spicy chili) while eating.
