Yes Joe, I know of and about shrimp paste and use it in a variety of dishes. Nevertheless, thank you for pointing it out.

Oh I meant to respond to your previous comment about me perhaps being a computer :) Well, I guess you can see that I am real. :)

Cynthia,
You might have done an article on shrimp paste, if not, here it is. I never made it myself, but I buy it all the time in Chinatown.

You dry the shrimp head and shells, then ground it up to a smoothe paste with oil, garlic, onions, peppers, salt. It has a very pungent smell, but once you put a spoonfull into your soup and let it boil for a while, the flavor of shrimp comes right out at ya.

Enjoy

Joe.

Cynthia,
Thank you for the interesting article. I’ve learned about banana blossoms and one day I may get to try them. I will remember this article.
