About Prawn paste
Prawn paste, also known as shrimp paste, is a pungent fermented condiment widely used in Southeast Asian cuisines such as Thai, Malaysian, Indonesian, and Filipino dishes. Made by grinding fresh shrimp with salt and allowing it to ferment, the mixture often takes on a dark brown or purple-hued paste-like consistency. It is a rich source of protein and essential minerals like calcium and iodine, supporting bone health and thyroid function. However, prawn paste is typically high in sodium due to the salt used in the preservation process, which makes moderation key for those monitoring their salt intake. Its intense umami flavor enhances curries, soups, and stir-fries, making it an indispensable element in regional dishes. Though its unique aroma can be overpowering to the uninitiated, its nutritional profile and ability to elevate flavors have made it a beloved staple in traditional cooking.
