Description
Shrimp Paste - 100 g
Shrimp paste is a classic ingredient in Southeast Asian cuisine and acts as an intense flavor enhancer in a wide range of hot dishes. The product primarily consists of fermented shrimp combined with salt, giving it a powerful and complex umami profile. The paste is typically used in small quantities as a base in curries, stir-fries, soups, and marinades, where it contributes a deep, salty, and slightly fishy flavor. Its thick and compact consistency makes precise dosing easy, and even a small amount is sufficient to elevate the taste 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 preserve its quality. The packaging is a practical plastic container with a lid, ensuring easy storage and reuse. With a high protein content of almost 25 g per 100 g, the product is nutritious and suitable for those looking 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 appeals to food enthusiasts who want to prepare authentic Asian dishes at home, as well as professional chefs interested in Southeast Asian cuisine.
