Shrimp version of sinigang, with vegetables like string beans, and kamote tops. This version uses kalamansi instead of tamarind, to make the soup sour. We used kamote tops, as it is more cost-effective, because we grow our own kamote tops. You should, too! You can substitute it with the usual kangkong if you don’t have kamote tops. —Mr. Hugh's Kitchen
