Prepare the alamang (baby shrimp), wash it thoroughly, and drain the water.
Prepare the needed vegetables; peel them if needed, and dice, mince, and chop them into pieces. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, put the alamang, then add the onion, tomato, garlic, and onion leaves.
Crack 2 to 3 fresh eggs over it and season with salt, ground black pepper to taste, and seasoning granules.
Mix them, and once they are combined, it is ready to fry.
Heat a pan or wok over medium-low heat. Then add a small amount of cooking oil to fry.
Once the oil is hot, add 1/4 cup of the alamang mixture to the pan and make a circle to form a torta, or omelet.
Fry the alamang mixture for 2 minutes or more on each side, or until golden brown.
Remove the tortang alamang from the heat when both sides are golden brown and place it on a plate lined with a paper tower. Paper towels help absorb the oil from the torta.
Serve it with sawsawan (dipping sauce). Share and enjoy the food.
