Prateepthong Shrimp Paste (Klong Khon) 454g

Prateepthong Shrimp Paste (กะปิคลองโคนตราประทีปทอง, kapi Klong Khon tra Prateepthong) is a premium Thai shrimp paste produced under the Prateepthong brand, made from Klong Khon shrimp paste — a geographically specific variety from Klong Khon, Samut Songkhram province, on the Gulf of Thailand coast. Shrimp paste (kapi / กะปิ) is a fermented condiment made from small shrimp or krill mixed with salt and sun-dried, then fermented to produce a dense, intensely flavoured paste that is one of the most foundational ingredients in Thai, Malay, and Southeast Asian cooking. Klong Khon shrimp paste is regarded as among the finest in Thailand due to the quality of the local shrimp and the traditional production methods of the Samut Songkhram region — producing a paste with a rich, complex aroma, deep umami flavour, and a balanced salinity. It is an essential ingredient in Thai curry pastes (including red, green, and massaman), nam prik (chilli dipping sauces), som tum, and pad kapi (shrimp paste stir-fry). The 454g pack is a larger household and light food service format suited to kitchens that use shrimp paste regularly across multiple dishes.
