Sinigang na Hipon sa Kamias (Shrimps in Sour Bilimbi Broth)
Sinigang na Hipon sa Kamias, or Shrimps in Sour Bilimbi Broth, is a staple in Filipino cuisine and is considered to be one of the more popular comfort dishes. While tamarind is usually used to give this soup its signature sourness, you can use other fruits such as Kamias (Bilimbi), guava and santol (cotton fruit). In this recipe, Kamias is used as its flavor complements well with the shrimp due to its milder sour notes and fruitiness. However, if you’re not able to find any Kamias fruits nearby, you can always use a little vinegar.
