How To Cook Ginataang Alimasag Recipe

Ginataang Alimasag (or alimango) are Crabs cooked in Coconut Milk. This ginataang alimasag recipe features the use of spinach and Thai chili as a replacement for Malunggay. Squash and string beans (kalabasa and sitaw) can also be placed instead of Spinach .

Ginataang alimasag is another of our many seafood dishes cooked in coconut milk and chilies. I included long beans and calabasa to the pot I made today but other vegetables such as pechay, spinach or eggplant are also common additions. Have plenty of rice ready, folks, and forget the forks and spoons. This scrumptious crab dish is definitely best enjoyed kamayan-style. Let’s eat!
