✨ Maepranom Kapi Shrimp Paste for authentic Thai flavour

Shrimp paste (kapi) is a classic Southeast Asian seasoning that brings deep savoury umami and a distinctive, briny aroma to your cooking. Maepranom Kapi Shrimp Paste is made from first-class salted small shrimps—ideal when you want that true Thai “backbone” in a dish without needing a long list of ingredients.

Use a small amount to enrich curry pastes, stir-fries, and dipping sauces, or to round out soups and broths. A quick tip: gently toast or fry a little kapi in oil before adding other ingredients to soften the aroma and release a fuller, nuttier depth.

✅ Key features

  • Adds concentrated umami and salty depth with just a small spoonful
  • Great for building authentic Thai curry pastes and chilli dips at home
  • Toasting briefly in a pan helps mellow the aroma and boosts complexity
  • Useful as a “secret ingredient” to balance sweet, sour, and spicy flavours
  • Easy to portion: start small, taste, then adjust—kapi is powerful

🍽️ How to use

  • Stir a tiny amount into Tom Yum-style soups to deepen the broth
  • Blend into curry paste with garlic, shallots, chilli, and herbs for a richer base
  • Mix into a dipping sauce with lime, sugar, and chilli for grilled meats or vegetables
  • Fry briefly with aromatics at the start of a stir-fry to build a savoury foundation
  • Add to noodle soups (such as Vietnamese-style spicy broths) for extra body and umami

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.
