Shrimp Paste Original - 350 g
Shrimp paste is a traditional fermented condiment primarily composed of shrimp and salt. The product is a fundamental ingredient in Southeast Asian cuisine and is known by its Thai name kapi. The paste is widely used as a flavoring agent in a variety of hot dishes, including curry pastes, stir-fries with vegetables and meat, and rich soup bases. It is particularly well-suited for preparing classic Thai dishes such as fried rice with shrimp paste and the well-known spicy soup tom yum goong. In addition to hot dishes, shrimp paste can also be used as a base in marinades, dipping sauces, and as a spread on bread or with vegetable sticks. The flavor is intense, salty, and distinct, with a characteristic pungent aroma derived from the fermentation process. The texture is thick and pasty, making it easy to portion and blend into other ingredients during preparation. The product is packaged in a convenient container with a lid, ensuring easy storage and dispensing. With a high protein content of almost 25 g per 100 g and a low carbohydrate content, the paste is nutritious and suitable for protein-conscious cooks. Shrimp paste is aimed at anyone who wants to prepare authentic Asian dishes at home and is an indispensable product for food enthusiasts interested in Thai and Southeast Asian cuisine.
