Hi Luke.

know what it is like.>>

This is a staple in our pantry/fridge.  Much like anchovy paste does in a
dish, the shrimp paste more or less disappears and all you are left with is
an intensly flavored chile paste flavor with a depth and range of flavors
you can't quite put your finger on.  It is our favorite in Hot and Sour soup
and we use it in many American soups, too.  It is often stirred in at the
end of stir frys here, etc. etc.  I much prefer it to Sambal Olek, which
tastes almost bland to me in comparison.
