Baby Prawn Adobo (Adobong Sugpo)

This recipe is baby prawns cooked adobo style. If you can find black tiger prawns, the better because they are more flavorful than the light colored ones but more expensive. You can also use jumbo shrimps if you can’t find prawns. Also, cooking the shrimps with shells and head intact can be done and will become more flavorful because the head part is where the flavor is. But it depends on you, you can also remove the head and shells just leaving the tail.
