This is a native delicacy which is probably from the province of Quezon. It is made of fresh water shrimps combined with grated young coconut, salt and pepper then wrapped in banana leaves. It is then cooked by boiling it on coconut water. It is then broiled on charcoal until the banana leaves are slightly burned. Fresh water shrimps are abundant in places near Laguna de Bay. Those shrimps looks like a crayfish because they have claws but the claws are slender. Just in case you can’t find fresh water shrimps, you can use saltwater shrimps or small prawns.
