Shrimp Paste (Thai Kapee)
£ 2.50
100% natural
Hand packed in UK
Shrimp paste, or Thai Kapee, is fermented and ground shrimp. It is a brilliant and healthier alternative to fish sauce and is a very important ingredient in Asian Cooking.
The taste is highly salty, with an incredibly pungent scent. Like anchovies, the fishy flavour is not noticeable when cooked. The paste adds a rich, salty and Umami complexity to finished dishes.
This product is essential for Thai cooking enthusiasts for meals such as Thai Red Curry, Thai Green Curry, stir-fries, dipping sauces, Laska and Hot and Sour Soups. You could also try our Thai Panang Cooking Sauce, which demonstrates the versatility and flavour of Shrimp Paste. Alternatively, use wherever you would fish sauce.
Our Shrimp Paste was named a Delia Smith Cheat Ingredient in her cookbook ‘Delia’s How to Cheat at Cooking’. The product was used in her Thai Green Prawn Curry (page 134) if you would like to recreate!
