CAMARON REBUSADO

Camaron rebosado is a Filipino dish of battered, pan-fried

 shrimp that have usually been marinated in lemon juice.

This dish is similar to shrimp tempura, but the batter

 is somewhat more dense and thicker than tempura

 batter. Camaron rebosado usually comes served

 with sweet and sour sauce.

The word camaron means shrimp, and rebosado

 means overflowing or overflowed, making this

 dish overflowed shrimp

 The batter used for camaron rebosado

 is usually a

mix of flour, cornstarch, and salt with milk and eggs.

 Some cooks stir the mix sparingly, leaving a few tiny

 lumps in the mix, which affects the texture of the

 batter. The batter is intentionally made with a mild,

 borderline bland flavor to create a crunchy

 background for the flavorful sauce.

Camaron rebosado is generally made with large

 shrimp. To prepare them for this dish, the shrimp

 are cleaned and deveined, but the tail is left on

 the shrimp. Removing the vein in the belly of the

 shrimp is a vital step because the material inside

 it can make the shrimp unpleasantly sandy and

gritty when eaten. This recipe can also be made with prawns.

Camaron Rebosado is a Filipino Traditional dish. I

 saw a food blog before and it said that this dish

 can be called Overflowed Shrimp in English. This

 dish is a Filipino conterpart of the very famous

shrimp dish tempura of the Japanese because they

 have the similar way how to cook it. Batter and

shrimp are the key ingredients for this dish and

 making the batter depends on how you want to make it.

Do you want to make it simple, or spicy? Well if you

 want some adjustment, you can do it with the sauce

 because this dish requires sauce for better taste.

 You may use Banana catsup, the all-purpose

 sauce or you can even use soy sauce with

 spices. I am going to share with you my simple

 recipe. Here is how to cook Camaron Rebosado.
