Shrimp with Coconut Roasted Paste

Hey dear steemians!

It's a real heat temperature here which can make you easily high temper as well...if, you do not eat your food. 😁 😁

Have you ever heard roasted coconut paste? I bet no. It's coconut flesh that roasted and smoothed. This is another familiar spice from Aceh besides asamsunti (dried blimbi). Maybe next time I'll share you the picture of them.

I love this shrimp recipe. I did a little bit experiment with the spice. Some Acehnese do love to be extravagant with the spice composition in their cuisine measurement. Well, I myself prefer medium composition so the taste won't be excessive.

So, here we go! Shrimp with roasted coconut paste.
