About Shrimp paste
Shrimp paste is a fermented condiment made primarily from crushed shrimp or krill mixed with salt, then dried or fermented into a dense, aromatic paste. Commonly used in Southeast Asian and Southern Chinese cuisines, it is a staple in dishes from Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines. Shrimp paste is rich in protein and contains essential nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart and brain health. However, it is also high in sodium due to the salt used in its preparation, so consumption should be moderated, particularly for those managing high blood pressure or kidney issues. Its robust umami flavor enhances soups, curries, and stir-fried dishes, making it a versatile ingredient. Depending on preparation methods, variations range from smooth pastes to chunky textures, adding unique depth to traditional recipes.
