Ukoy, a popular street food snack in the Philippines, is a delicious and crispy fritter made with a mixture of grated vegetables and shrimp, bound together by a simple batter made of rice flour and all-purpose flour. This version also includes grated kalabasa (squash), adding an extra layer of sweetness and texture to the dish.

The batter is mixed until smooth, then stir in the grated carrot, grated onion, shredded cabbage, grated kalabasa, and shrimps. The mixture is then scooped into the hot oil, where it is fried until golden brown and crispy. The ukoy is drained on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil before serving.

Ukoy is typically served with a dipping sauce, such as a mixture of vinegar, soy sauce, and chili for a sweet and sour flavor, or a simple soy sauce with a squeeze of lemon.

This traditional Filipino snack is easy to make and perfect for a quick and satisfying treat. Whether you’re looking for a snack on the go or an appetizer to share with friends and family, ukoy with shrimps and kalabasa is sure to satisfy.
