Maepranom Shrimp paste 350 g
✨ Maepranom shrimp paste for deep, savoury Southeast Asian flavour
Shrimp paste is a classic shortcut to that unmistakable Southeast Asian depth—salty, intensely savoury, and wonderfully aromatic once cooked. A small amount can transform a dish from “nice” to richly rounded, especially in broths, stir-fries, and curry-style sauces.
Use it as a flavour base: gently fry a little with oil, garlic, chilli, shallots, or lemongrass to mellow the aroma and release its umami. It pairs beautifully with lime, sugar, and fresh herbs, helping you balance salty–sweet–sour–spicy in Thai and Vietnamese-style cooking.
✅ Key features
- Adds strong umami and savoury depth with just a small spoonful
- Best flavour when briefly fried first—helps soften the aroma and spread the taste evenly
- Ideal for building complex bases for soups, curries, and chilli pastes
- Works well with bright ingredients like lime, tamarind, and fresh herbs for balanced flavour
- A practical pantry staple when you want authentic seafood savouriness without long simmering
🍽️ How to use
- Stir into Tom Yum-style soup or other hot broths—dissolve a little in the pot, then adjust with lime and chilli
- Fry with garlic/shallot and chilli as a base for stir-fried vegetables, noodles, or rice dishes
- Blend into a quick dipping sauce with lime juice, a touch of sugar, and sliced chilli
- Add a small amount to curry pastes or sambal-style mixes for extra depth
- Use sparingly in marinades for seafood or pork, then balance with something sweet or sour
