Varieties
Shrimp pastes vary in appearance from pale liquid sauces to solid chocolate-colored blocks. Shrimp paste produced in
Hong Kong and
Vietnam is typically a light pinkish gray while the type used for
Burmese,
Lao,
Cambodian and
Thai
cooking is darker brown. While all shrimp paste has a pungent aroma,
that of higher grades is generally milder. Markets near villages
producing shrimp paste are the best places to obtain the highest quality
product. Shrimp paste varies between different Asian cultures and can
vary in smell, texture and saltiness
