I used pre-made shrimp paste that I found at a Chinese supermarket in the fresh seafood section. You can also stuff shitake mushrooms and bitter melon. You want to stay away from vegetables with high water content and the ones that take a long time to cook through. Street vendors in Hong Kong also use “red sausage” to stuff shrimp or fish paste. You can get this at a Hong Kong BBQ store. I used a very light sauce to make this a quick and easy dish. If you like the thicker sauces, just add a cornstarch slurry when you make the sauce.
