Shrimp Paste or Kapi

Kapi are made from shrimps, first the small shrimps are thoroughly cleaned and drained, the sprinkle salt on it and blend well, to be sure the shrimp mixture are well blended. Let it sit overnight.
In the morning we bring it to pound to a smooth consistency, then spread onto thin circle to dry in the sun for one day. Next day they are collected and pounded again to further firm up their mixture. They are found and dried in the sun for a few days, while sale can be added more in order to strengthen the quality.  Finally, it is stored in an air tight jar. The past can be kept for 3-4 months.
