Salted Fermented Shrimp (Saeujeot)

Salted Fermented Shrimp (Saeujeot) is a traditional Korean condiment of tiny shrimp salted and fermented until intensely savory and umami-rich; it is commonly used to season kimchi, stews, dipping sauces and many other dishes. As a concentrated seasoning, it is very high in salt at 25g per 100g, but also provides a substantial amount of protein and iodine-rich trace minerals typical of shellfish. Nutritionally, it is valued for its high-quality protein and micronutrients such as selenium and vitamin B12, so small amounts add both flavor and nutrients — however, because of its high sodium content it is best used sparingly or swapped for a reduced-salt alternative when you need to limit salt intake.
