Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    WOW, this was so good, and my first ever full roast chicken! Even my husband uttered “wow!” when he took a bite, which was the best compliment. Would absolutely make this one again. The shrimp paste is not shrimpy at all, it mellows out as everything roasts and adds a beautiful umami flavour. Make this!

    I doubled the recipe for the paste so that I could put it under the skin of the breast as well as on the outside.

    It was VERY good. I was afraid it’s gonna be a bit too shrimpy but the ginger and garlic i think helped mellow it out and it was just salty and sweet and niiice. The drippings also was a good sauce to drizzle over the chicken and some rice
