What's Special:
Add whole shrimps in the Otah adds crunch to the normal soft paste. Having lime juice balances the overly heavy and spicy Otah, making it an appetizer more than a hunger cure.

Method:
1) Mix in a bowl all the ingredients for Paste.
2) Separate into 6 portions and Wrap up the Paste.
3) Steam under high heat for 10 mins. Cool it down.
4) Barbecue the Paste in Wrap. Remove Wrap before serving Paste .
5) Serve with dip, baked hot dog buns, tea and salad for a family fiesta picnic.
