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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Premium Thai shrimp paste (kapi) — Klong Khon variety, Samut Songkhram province\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKey flavour\/texture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich, deeply umami, and complex with a balanced salinity — premium Klong Khon provenance, more refined than mass-produced shrimp paste\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary use case:\u003c\/strong\u003e Base ingredient for Thai curry pastes (red, green, massaman) and nam prik chilli dipping sauces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSecondary use case:\u003c\/strong\u003e Som tum dressing, pad kapi (shrimp paste stir-fry), and any Thai dish requiring shrimp paste as a foundational flavour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePack size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 454g pack — larger household and light food service format\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor a smaller household format, see Prateepthong Shrimp Paste (Klong Khon) 227g.
