Ginataang Kalabasa

I am dreaming of typical ginitaang kalabasa right now. Although i ate so many different kinds of food today but seems i'm not satisfy with those. I sent hubby two times today to different store and drive thru places to get me food but still i'm hungry and looking for food. This pinay basically looking for typical ginitaang kalabasa. I'm not pregnant, i'm not ready yet to have another one. I'm just craving ordinary filipino food. So, since i can't get no ginitaang kalabasa to any places here i might cook me here afterwards. Looking that picture below makes me crazy and wanted to eat it right now. I wish mama is here to cook..hehehe!

1 kilo squash, cut into cubes (1"x1")
1/4 kilo shrimp, shelled and deveined
3 pieces tomatoes, diced

2 pieces long chilli peppers
2 tablespoons of shrimp paste (bagoong)
