Halaan (clams) and Malunggay Soup
*Remember to soak the clams in SALT water for maybe...half a day. Just so to make sure that they expelled all the sand in their systems :)

Butter Garlic Shrimp (Dampa Style)
- marinate the shrimps in either Sprite or 7-up for 15-30 minutes (para mawala yung lansa)

- pag medyo reddish/orangey na, add knorr ginisa mix, sugar, 2 tsp. of the sprite/7up marinade, para di sya dry, mix ulit.
yung seasonings, i-adjust niyo na lang according to your preference.
