Speaking of shrimp paste, the folks in Jiaodong are familiar with it. Shrimp paste is a special product of Jiaodong, which is made by grinding and fermenting small coastal shrimps. It is the top grade of shrimp paste from the prawns in the Rushan area of Weihai in Rongcheng. The top class is shrimp paste made with prawns, but it is difficult to find prawn paste because of the high price of prawns.

My hometown, Weifang, is close to the coast. Natural shrimp paste is also a common delicacy there. I lived in my hometown when I was a child. The shrimp paste impressed me deeply. At that time, the village came to change the shrimp paste, and the family replaced some shrimp paste with grains. When eating, they put the shrimp paste in a small bowl, mixed with chopped green onion, and steamed in the pot. After steaming, they ate the sweet potatoes. It is the most fragrant combination, because the shrimp paste is cheap and very salty, and it is suitable for people at that time.

When I was a child, there were crab skins and crab legs in the shrimp paste, and eating a little bit would kill you. The shrimp paste in the supermarket now is much better in quality and taste than the shrimp paste when I was a kid, and the shrimp paste is also much more delicate. Now there are more recipes for eating shrimp paste. Eggs can be used to steam, tofu can be used to stew, and it can be used to make small cold dishes. "
