This is one of my husband’s most requested and favorite dish. Although we’re both Bulakenyo, he loves dishes w/ coconut milk (ginataan) and w/ chilies. Enjoy! 
Ginataang Gulay w/ Hipon
What you need:
1/4 k. fresh shrimp
pumpkin (kalabasa)
string beans (sitaw)
3 cups coconut milk (gata)
1 cup coconut cream (kakang gata)
fish sauce (Patis)
ginger (sliced)
3 cloves garlic (chopped)
1 onion (sliced)
1 green chili (siling panigang or labuyo) (cut to pieces)
How to:
Sauté ginger, garlic, chili, onion. Then add the shrimp and the coconut milk. Let it simmer then put the pumpkin. Let it simmer again. When the coconut milk lessens you can now put the coconut cream together with the string beans. Put fish sauce to taste and let it simmer again until your desired consistency. It will be as thick as what you can see in the pictures I’ve provided. Serve hot with rice!
Bon appétit!
