Camaron Rebosado is a seafood dish made out of deep fried battered shrimps served with sweet chilli or sweet and sour sauce.
Camaron rebosado — “the Shrimp tempura of the Philippines”, is an easy seafood dish which is made out of deep fried battered shrimps served with sweet chilli or sweet and sour sauce. Though it looks like a tempura this shrimp dish is very different to the Japanese counterpart as the batter of this recipe is very heavy compared to the tempura, and besides, it is served with a different sauce. It’s more filling and flavourful that’s why it is commonly consumed with rice together with side dish rather than on its own.

My favorite!! Eversince I was a kid, I loooooved Camaron Rebosado. The best that I had was at Cecile’s Restaurant in Las Pinas. You probably never heard of it but it was really good! thanks for this post! Brings back good old memories 😀 😀
Yum… You know this is very similar t shrimp fritters indian style, although they are more spicy… Totally yummy… I love fried food although try to limit them… But this is surely a dish I will love to eternity… Oh I can taste them right now.
I was immediately drawn to this photo because it looks so much like my family’s fried shrimp! YUM. We’re Chinese-American by way of Malaysia and Singapore.
I’m such a huge fan of shrimp and this looks wonderful!

This looks really good! Though I’m partial to the Japanese tempura, I don’t think I can resist this when it’s on the table. 😀

Fried pockets of awesomeness.
I have always loved shrimp and vegetables in tempura batter but never have made it. This looks great!

Oooh I love this dish! You’re right it’s similar, but also very different from tempura. You can’t go wrong with fried shrimp!
It might be a bit rich for me, but I bet it is utterly delicious! I’ve never had shrimp like this or tempura even, I’d like to try.
