✨ Monika Salted Shrimp Paste for Filipino-Style Cooking

Monika Salted Shrimp brings the deep, savory character that salted shrimp pastes are known for—salty, intensely umami, and wonderfully aromatic. It’s especially popular in Filipino kitchens, where a small spoonful can transform a simple meal into something richly seasoned.

Use it as a flavor base or finishing touch: stir into sautéed aromatics, mix into dips, or add to sauces when you want a bold seafood note. Because it’s concentrated, start with a little, taste, and adjust—this is the kind of ingredient that does a lot with very little.

✅ Key features

  • Delivers strong umami depth with just a small amount, so it’s easy to season gradually
  • A classic pantry shortcut for building savory, seafood-forward flavor in everyday dishes
  • Works well in both cooked dishes and mixed condiments, depending on the style you’re making
  • Pairs especially well with citrus, chili, garlic, and a touch of sweetness to balance the saltiness
  • Great for adding complexity to rice, noodles, and vegetable dishes that need a punch of flavor

🍽️ How to use

  • Sauté with garlic/onion and a little oil, then use as a base for stir-fries or vegetable dishes
  • Mix into a dipping sauce with chili and citrus (like calamansi or lime) for grilled meats or seafood
  • Stir a small amount into fried rice or noodle stir-fries for extra savory depth
  • Blend into a condiment with a touch of sugar and vinegar to balance the salty, fermented notes
  • Use sparingly to season soups or stews—add a little, simmer, then taste before adding more

✨ Final touch

Did you know salted shrimp paste is often used in Southeast Asian cooking as a “secret ingredient” to boost umami, much like anchovies in Mediterranean dishes?

Do not rely solely on the information provided for the product in our online store! Although we strive to always have up-to-date information on our products, the manufacturer may change the recipe and thus the composition. Always check the information directly on the product packaging, especially if you are on a special diet. Keep in mind that even foods that do not list allergens in their ingredients may still contain some. For example, in the case of gluten, a food containing up to 20 mg/kg of gluten is considered gluten-free and can be labeled as such. Up to 50 mg/kg of gluten is considered a trace amount, and labeling as gluten-free and information about trace amounts is voluntary.

We only sell long-life products that do not require special conditions. However, these are still food products, and when shopping online, it is important to remember that a few days in a box in the sun or, conversely, in the cold can have a negative effect on the quality of the food purchased.

Pay attention to the expiration date and type of shelf life.
Use by/expiration date = after this date, it is not safe to eat the food.
Best before = after this date, the quality may decline, but consumption is usually safe if the packaging is intact and the food still smells and tastes good.
