This premium condiment, a staple in Southern Chinese and Southeast Asian cuisines, is renowned for its ability to infuse dishes with an authentic, rich flavor. The shrimp paste is a unique blend of 41% soybean oil and 20% cooked shrimp, along with distinctive flavors such as soy sauce powder, garlic, and a hint of natural food additive paprika oleoresin (E160c). Known also as prawn sauce, this shrimp paste is a fermented delight, traditionally crafted from fine crushed shrimp or krill, meticulously mixed with salt, then fermented for several weeks to achieve its characteristic taste. It's a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes, particularly in curries, sambals, and sauces, adding depth and complexity that is sure to impress. The best way to unleash the full potential of this shrimp paste is to gently flatten it in a frying pan over medium-low heat, allowing the flavors to meld together and permeate your dish. Despite its robust aroma and salty tang, it should be used sparingly to ensure a well-balanced meal. This product is GMO-free, making it a great choice for those who prefer natural, wholesome ingredients. However, those with allergies should note that it contains shrimp (shellfish) and soybean. To maintain its freshness and quality, remember to refrigerate after opening.
