When we lived in Guam this recipe could also be used with chicken.

Being Chamorro myself these are a must have at all parties and get togethers. They are so ADDICTING too. My family LOVES seafood. Duh , we're Islanders!LOL! My mom has always put both shrimp and crab meat in ours. For the poor lady who made it with sweeten condensed milk. You should truly make them again with EVAPORATED MILK.

These are really good. I used Asian style mixed veggies. The veggie mix had red peppers in it so I did not used the green pepper. For the canned milk I used sweetened condensed mik. I do not know if that is what I should have used but it worked. Easy recipe. Thanks!
