Shrimp Paste Sambal( Sambal Terasi )
Not everyone like this sambal because it is made from shrimp paste (terasi) and the smell can be extremely repulsive. Shrimp Paste is made from fermented ground shrimp, sun dried and then cut into fist-sized rectangular blocks. It is not designed, nor customarily used for immediate consumption and has to be fully cooked prior to consumption since it is raw. However, Sambal Terasi is quite popular among Indonesians.
