Ginataan Squash & Shrimps Recipe

Ginataan squash and shrimps is a delicious Filipino dish made with shrimp and vegetable and it's
one of my favorites. As the name says, 'ginataan' refers to any dish cooked in coconut milk or coconut cream. Coconut milk is used in many Filipino recipes because it makes the dish richer and creamier. So, if you are a lover of squash and shrimps then this is a recipe that you should try.
