I didn't think so. Just like Australians rarely use 'shrimp'. Probably because they don't have the little ones here and the big ones are called prawns. |

Oddly enough, this rock is famous for shrimp scampi. How did that happen? I don't know.

It's like calling the > dish shrimp mackerel. I bet the Chinese don't give it a nonsensical > name. I used to know a guy that raised shrimps and prawns. His prawns and shrimps were in high demand because he raised them up in the mountain, not at sea level. That's pretty radical. This means that the water was cleaner and refreshed faster than what was available on the bottom. That guy was a brilliant Hawaiian man. He researched the available shrimp feed and imported them from the mainland. He also supplied frog legs to the local restaurants. One day during a storm, the entire farm got buried under a landslide. Him and his wife was lucky because they weren't there at the time. If they were, nobody would have ever found them. After that business went under he started raising pigs and hosting luaus. That guy was awesome! The Hawaiians were practicing aquaculture for hundreds of years. There's a giant ancient fishpond a couple of miles from here at Heeia. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nOk4ewNH7c&t=38 |

Bad thing is I am under 50. Yikes. Well you are an exception to the rule. I'd be extra careful too in your case. I certainly hope you prove the doctors wrong and live long and prosper. |

It's pork adobo which is an important dish in Filipino cuisine. It's pork seasoned with soy sauce, garlic, bay leaves, black pepper, and vinegar. It's a fairly intense dish. Ideally, it should be made with pork belly but pork shoulder will also work. == Any chance of a full recipe please? I could probably wing it with what you have described but .... |

The way I'd do it is to boil up some pork shoulder for around 40 minutes. Skim out the scum in the first few minutes. Then dump out some of the water and put in enough Chinese soy sauce to make a dark tan sauce. I used a lot of dark soy sauce to make an intensely dark sauce. You should probably go lighter. Add some garlic, bay leaves, and black pepper to taste. Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. Add some vinegar to taste. Most Filipinos will make this pretty intense but you get to control the potency. Good luck! |

Sorry for insisting, but when you cook a prawn, how do you know it's not a shrimp? What's the difference? |

Also, shrimp mostly come from sal****er sources but prawns only come from freshwater. If Im buying from a quality fish market, I generally trust that if theyre labeled prawns that they are actually prawns and not mislabeled jumbo shrimp, but YMMV. If its prepared in a restaurant, I think all bets are off, however. I think any discernible taste differences are debatable, but I wouldnt know personally since I dont eat either. |

I feel much safer buying frozen shrimp. That way I know how long they've been sitting after defrosting. Of course, it's kind of a crapshoot as to what happened to them before I bought them, but if the IQF shrimp are buried in frost it's a no-go for me. Cindy Hamilton |
