Dear Eff,
As your roommate, who, upon discovering said shrimp paste in the refirgerator last night, sealed the paste in 2 ziploc bags so as to not contaminate the fresh produce; I think the highest and best use for the paste would be to sacrfice it to the landfill gods in a ritualistic ceremony that consists of christening a newly returned-from-the-curb WM storage container with the wholely sealed contents of the shrimp paste.
I would be more than happy to perform this ceremony at your earliest convenience. The sooner we appease the gods of stench, the less angry they will be.
Sincerely,
"Roomie"
