Shrimp paste is made from crushed or ground shrimp. Like fish sauce, it is salted and fermented. The flavour is similar to fish sauce, except it is quite a bit stronger and, well…shrimpier. 

It is commonly used in Southeast Asian and Southern Chinese cuisines. Here are some dishes you can use shrimp paste in…

* Char Kway Teow (Malaysian Rice Noodle Stir-fry)
* Khao Soi (Thai Curry Noodle Soup)
* Stir-fried conch with vegetables and fried tofu (Cantonese)
* Stewed eggplant and tofu use shrimp sauce (Cantonese)
* Stir-fried water spinach with shrimp paste (Malaysian)
