WATCH: How to Make Nilasing na Hipon (Fried Shrimp Marinated in Beer)

Shrimp is marinated in beer (you may also use wine or vodka!) and is lightly coated before deep-frying the shrimp to a nice golden color. This is a popular appetizer but it works well as a main dish, too. It's usually eaten with vinegar on the side as a dipping sauce.
