About Shrimp base
Shrimp base is a concentrated shrimp-flavoured ingredient used as a foundation for other foods. The name does not specify the shrimp species, concentration, or whether the product is made solely from shrimp or includes salt, seasonings, or other ingredients.
It is used to build flavour in soups, sauces, and prepared dishes, often after dilution or mixing. It may be paste-like, powdered, or otherwise concentrated, with colour and intensity varying by product. Nutrition comparisons should match the form, dilution basis, and full formulation.
