Yes I think you can, though I found some recipes that they eliminate the bagoong.

Hi App! I really can’t explain what is “Shrimp Bagoong” on my own, so I have to search it in the web so that you can easily understand try to read the answer on this link: http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-bagoong.html
Instead of small fishes like what it said on the link it uses shrimp.
Hope this help!
