I love that this dish is so easy and quick to make, yet so flavorful. It is best with warm rice. This can be enjoyed with steamed okra and fried fish.

On the same pan, add chopped garlic; cook until fragrant.
Add onion & tomato; cook until soft.
Next, add shrimp paste and string beans. Cook for about 2 minutes. If necessary, you can add little water at this point cook the string beans. I didn’t have to.
