  • 1/4 Cup red onion cut into wedges
  • 2 cloves Garlic crushed
  • 2 20-gram packs sinigang sa sampaloc mix
  • 300 to 400 Grams blue crabs (alimasag)
  • 1 tablespoon Fish sauce
  • 1 siling pansigang
  • Salt to taste

  • 1/3 Cup radish sliced
  • 1/4 Cup string beans sliced
  • 1/3 Cup okra sliced
  • 1/2 Cup kangkong leaves
  • 1 green finger chili (siling pangsigang)
  • 500 Grams prawns cleaned and trimmed, reserve heads of half the prawns
  • 1/4 Cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons red onions chopped
  • 1 tablespoon Garlic
  • 1 Cup tomatoes chopped
  • 2 cups paella rice

Instructions
 

  • Make the sinigang stock: Heat oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Sauté prawn heads, tomatoes, onions, garlic, and sinigang mix. Add 5 cups water; bring to a boil. Add crabs; cook for 10 minutes. Season with patis, finger chili, salt, and pepper. Remove crabs from pot and set crabs aside.
  • Blanch vegetables in sinigang stock for 2 minutes. Remove vegetables from pot and set aside.
  • Lightly season prawns with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a 16-inch paellera pan. Cook prawns for 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove prawns and set aside.
  • In the same pan, sauté onions, garlic, and tomatoes until tomatoes have broken down into a paste, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add rice; stir until grains are well coated with oil. 
  • Add 3 cups sinigang stock. Spread rice evenly on pan. Bring to a slow boil then cover with foil. Lower heat and simmer until rice is al dente, about 18 to 20 minutes. Add more stock, ¼ cup at a time, if rice needs to cook longer. 
  • Arrange prawns and vegetables on top of rice, cover with foil, and cook for 2 minutes. For a toasted crust on the bottom of the pan, increase heat to high and cook for 30 seconds. Turn off heat. Place crabs on top.
