Etymology
Camaron rebosado has a Spanish name, but the dish actually originated in China. This is because the Spanish colonization of the Philippines (1521–1898) involved the Hispanicization of many aspects of Filipino culture, and especially the art, names, and cuisines of the Chinese Filipinos. It has been described as "a Filipino dish with a Spanish name, but with a Chinese style of preparation."
Preparation
The shrimp may be sliced and formed into a butterfly shape in the preparation of camaron rebosado, and the tail may be removed before frying. The shrimp is then battered, fried in hot oil and traditionally served with sweet and sour sauce (agre dulce). The sauce may be poured atop the cooked shrimp or served as a dipping sauce. The batter may include baking powder and additional ingredients such as egg whites and corn starch. It may also be prepared by dipping the shrimp in an egg wash, coating them with bread crumbs and then frying them, or by just using the flour and egg and then frying. The dish may also be accompanied with lemon juice, soy sauce and garlic-infused mayonnaise as condiments.
A marinade may be used in the dish's preparation, in which the shrimp are soaked in a mixture of white wine, garlic, salt and pepper.
Variations
Camaron rebosado con jamon is a variation of the dish that includes ham wrapped around the shrimp in its preparation. Camaron rebosado con jamon has been described as a classic dish in the Binondo district of Manila, the city's Chinatown.
