    Hi all, did a search for this and a previous thread last year mentioned a shop in abbey street. Does anyone know of anywhere else I can get it, preferably not in centre of dublin? I work in south dublin, and have tried the blackrock market and a little asian shop in dun laoghaire..

    You could make it yourself quite easily. I usually get mine in Abbey st.

    Ingredients:

    6 dried small red chillies, deseeded
    2 teaspoons shrimp paste
    1 brown onion, chopped
    2 stalks lemongrass, trimmed, white part finely chopped
    3cm piece galangal, peeled, chopped
    5 candlenuts or brazil nuts
    2 garlic cloves, chopped
    1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
    1 tablespoon peanut oil

    Place chillies in a heatproof bowl. Cover with boiling water. Stand for 20 minutes or until soft. Drain well. Roughly chop.

    Wrap shrimp paste in foil. Heat in a frying pan over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes each side or until roasted.

    Process chillies, roasted shrimp paste and remaining ingredients until well combined. Store paste in a clean, airtight jar in the fridge for up to 6 months.
