Ginisang Sayote with Shrimps

Sharing another sayote dish today but this time, it comes with shrimps!  So, it’s rightly called Sayote with Shrimps 😅  I love cooking vegetable dishes as they are easy to cook and when you eat them, you don’t feel guilty as it has a healthy feeling.  With us wanting to always achieve the right weight, eating lots of vegetables is the way to go.

It took me a week to finish the dish all by myself.  I tend to skip dinner these days but let’s see if I can sustain eating one dish over and over for one whole week.  I tend to get tired of the taste already.  Earlier, I rewarded myself with 6 pieces KFC chicken, hahahaha!  I’m already defying my health goals 😂
