Chef Marc Buenaventura of Islas Filipino BBQ & Bar in Toronto introduces his favorite dish on the menu: Black Shrimp Pares. Inspired by his father’s garlic shrimp recipe, Chef Marc adds a unique twist with star anise, ginger, and a blend of spices. The dish features seared shrimp, banana blossoms, green onion, and crispy fried garlic, all tossed in a flavorful sauce. This Filipino-Canadian fusion dish embodies the essence of traditional Filipino flavors with a modern twist.
