I don’t know if it’s just me, but I’ve never really seen a lot of Curry in Filipino cuisine. So when we were sent a huge package of McCormick’s sauces to try out and came across a lone pack of curry, we thought – why not make this our own? Let’s fuse the best of the Philippines – which happens to be the seafood but also keep it local with local ingredients.

I think my dad was also adamant on trying to win the contest McCormick’s #OnlineCookoff – which is a cash prize of $2000! If you want to vote for him, you can totally do this here (there’ll be another link at the bottom of the post too).

So without further ado, here is the recipe! On the day we made it, we scrapped a couple items we had originally put together for the recipe since we had a LOT of seafood in the pot! The wonderful thing about curry is that you can throw pretty much anything into it, so make it your own!
