Grill delights at home

With the opening of the new Antipolo Public Market closer to our home, we have been able to go to the market more often to get fresh seafood. We have been able to establish our suki (favorite vendors) for fish and other sea food. There's one from whom we usually get our tuna or tanguigue, and another from whom we usually get our shrimps and prawns. We also have a suki for the vegetables that we buy from the market. I'm sharing some photos of the grilled prawns and mushrooms we had for dinner last Sunday. You can call it food porn in this season of Lent but then it is good food that we get to enjoy once in a while.

I got these prawns for 640 pesos per kilo. 3 pieces of these cooked similarly and with rice and some vegetables on the side could easily cost upwards of 300 pesos per serving at restaurants with the fancy ones even charging 1,000 pesos! One kilo of prawns was more than enough for our household that we even had enough leftover after dinner for our lunch boxes the following day.
