Description
Shrimp Paste - 100 g
Shrimp paste is a classic ingredient in Southeast Asian cuisine and serves as an intense flavor enhancer in a wide range of hot dishes. The product primarily consists of fermented shrimp combined with salt, which provides a powerful and complex umami profile. The paste is typically used in smaller quantities as a base in curry dishes, stir-fries, soups, and marinades, where it contributes a deep, salty, and slightly fishy taste. Its thick and compact consistency makes it easy to portion precisely, and even a small amount is sufficient to elevate the flavor of an entire dish. The product is particularly popular in Thai cuisine but is also used in other Asian cuisines such as Vietnamese and Malaysian cooking. The paste is best stored cool and dry after opening to maintain quality. The packaging is a practical plastic container with a lid, ensuring easy storage and reusability. With a high protein content of almost 25g per 100g, the product is nutritious and suitable for those who wish to add extra protein to their meals. The salt content is relatively high, which is characteristic of fermented shrimp products, and this should be taken into account during preparation. Shrimp paste is aimed at food enthusiasts who want to prepare authentic Asian dishes at home, as well as professional chefs interested in Southeast Asian cuisine.
