Description
Shrimp Paste (Kapi) - 400 g
Shrimp paste, traditionally called kapi in Southeast Asian cuisine, is a concentrated seasoning paste based on fermented, ground shrimp mixed with salt. The product contains a full 80% shrimp (penaeus vannamei) and 20% salt, providing a powerful and deep umami flavor. The paste is used as a flavor base in a wide range of Asian dishes, including curries, wok sauces, dipping sauces, and marinades. Its intense, salty, and slightly fermented taste makes it suitable for adding depth and complexity to cooking. The texture is dense and paste-like, making it easy to portion and dissolve in hot dishes. The product is packaged in a sturdy 400 g container, suitable for frequent use in the kitchen. Shrimp paste is a fundamental ingredient in Southeast Asian cuisine and is used daily in dishes from countries such as Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Indonesia. It is particularly well-suited for preparing Thai curries, nam phrik dipping sauces, and wok-based dishes. The paste should be stored cool and dry after opening to preserve its flavor and quality. The product is aimed at food enthusiasts, professional chefs, and anyone who wants to prepare authentic Asian dishes at home.
