Ginataang Hipon (Shrimps in Coconut Milk)

Ginataan, alternatively spelled guinataan, is a Filipino term which refers to food cooked with gata - the Filipino word for coconut milk. Literally translated, ginataan means "done with coconut milk". Due to the general nature of the term, it can refer to a number of different dishes, each called ginataan, but distinct from one another.

Ginataang Hipon is probably one of the best food cooked in coconut milk! Try it!
