This Minor's Shrimp Base is some great stuff. I've tried a lot of the seafood bases in the past and they all have a fishy taste on the high end. Not with the Minor's Shrimp Base it smells like shrimp and taste like shrimp. This it really great stuff and really makes a rich tasting dish. Just follow the instructions because it doesn't take as much as the other seafood bases. I keep mine in the frig and have had it for several months now and it's just as good now as when I first tried it. Yes is does cost more but well worth it. It's a standard for all my shrimp and seafood dishes now.

I was very disappointed with this soup base. Not that it has a bad flavor just that is is definitely not a shrimp flavor. Would pass for a fish base but no more than that. Even as a fish base you can tell that they are using flavors that the FDA would pass as natural but we would all be surprised at exactly where they came from. The first ingredient is shrimp and natural shrimp liquids but I would say that there is a lot more juice than shrimp meat. Tremendous amount of salt but that is to be expected in these things. You would be better off spending your money on the cost equivalent of frozen shrimp and use that in place of this. Then you would have a more authentic flavor and more control over the salt.
