Have you ever heard of rebon shrimp? I'm sure you're familiar with it, right? Rebon shrimp is a type of small shrimp that is very useful and has a delicious taste. Rebon shrimp is one of the main ingredients in making shrimp paste and is also used as dried shrimp, like the ones I bought today. Processing rebon shrimp in this way is one way to preserve it when fishermen have a bumper harvest.

There are two types of rebon shrimp: wet and dry. The ones I bought this time are dried and unsalted. Before use, these shrimp must be cleaned and soaked in hot water first. This time, I will process the small shrimp into a side dish to be enjoyed with warm white rice for lunch later. I plan to make a small shrimp sambal, which is quite unique and certainly very delicious.
Ingredients Needed

5 green chilies
8 red chilies
4 cloves of shallots
3 cloves of garlic
¼ teaspoon of salt
¼ teaspoon of mushroom broth

Coarsely chop the red onion, then separately chop the red chili peppers. Since I forgot the garlic, I minced it.




Then sauté the red onion and garlic briefly until wilted. Add the minced red chili peppers and a little water.




Then add the drained shrimp to the stir-fry, mix, and let all the spices soak in.
