Shrimp garum is a fermented shrimp-based sauce, developed using centuries-old techniques. The fermentation process creates a deep, salty umami flavor with a rich and complex aroma. Its concentrated composition means that only a small amount is needed to add depth and flavor to dishes. This sauce is suitable as a seasoning in sauces, soups, and seafood dishes. The taste is comparable to fish sauce or soy sauce, but has a distinctive character based on fermented shrimp.
