Dried Shrimp

About Dried Shrimp

Dried shrimp are small, sun-dried shrimp with a concentrated, salty, and savory (umami) flavor, used as a flavor base in many Asian, African, and Latin American cuisines for dishes like stir-fries, soups, and pastes, often rehydrated before use but sometimes used whole or ground for snacks and seasonings. They come in various sizes, with larger ones often being higher grade and smaller ones used whole, imparting intense seafood flavor to dishes.
