- To make the paste, chop up the shrimp until it is so finely minced until it is a paste.
- Add the shrimp paste to the ground beef and mix really well. It will be gooey-gooey.
- Bring your liquid of choice to a boil in a large pot.
- Drop shaped or unshaped niblets of the shrimp and ground beef mixture into the boiling broth/water.
