Chili Shrimp Paste is a flavorful condiment originating from Southeast Asian cuisine, particularly Thai and Malaysian dishes. Typically made by blending dried shrimp, chili peppers, garlic, shallots, oil, and sometimes fermented fish or tamarind, it delivers an intense umami taste with a spicy kick. This paste is often used as a base for stir-fries, sauces, or dips, adding depth and richness to dishes. Nutritionally, it is a good source of protein from dried shrimp but contains high levels of sodium, which should be consumed in moderation. The chili component provides vitamins A and C and potential metabolism-boosting benefits. While rich in flavor, its use of oil and salt makes it less suitable for low-fat or low-sodium diets. For a balanced approach, consider incorporating small amounts to enhance recipes without overindulging.
