[cool][#0000ff]It is pretty common. Look either in a Mexican food market or in the Mexican food section of large supermarkets. There are usually several of the Knorr bouillon products. You will be looking for "Caldo de Camaron". See pics below. It is also sometimes available in oriental food stores.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I put a cube in the pan when fixing noodles for fish dishes. I also add a cube to the butter/olive oil mix I use for sauteeing perch, white bass or other fillets. Adds a nice shrimpy touch. Add some grated coconut a few minutes before removing from the pan for coconut shrimp fish.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Use a small grater to turn the cube to a powder that can be sprinkled on fish...either as they are cooking or just out of the pan. That stuff also mixes well with hot butter if you are dipping fish or crawdad flesh in melted butter.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]The main thing to consider, when using the bouillon cubes (or powder) is that it takes heat and moisture to "release" it. So adding during the cooking process insures max flavor. If you want to mix it into something not boiling you can dissolve the cube or powder in a small amount of water in the microwave before adding it to your recipe.[/#0000ff]
