Description
Dried Shrimp - 75 g
Dried shrimp are a classic ingredient in many East Asian, Southeast Asian, and South Asian cuisines, where they are used to add a deep and complex seafood flavour to dishes. The product consists of shrimp that have been processed by drying, which concentrates the flavour and significantly reduces the water content. The result is a compact and easy-to-store product with a powerful, salty, and umami-rich flavour profile. The texture is firm and chewy when dry but softens after soaking in hot water for approximately 15 minutes before being used in certain recipes. Dried shrimp can be used directly in hot dishes such as soups, stews, woks, and fried rice dishes, where they act as a natural flavour enhancer. They are also suitable as a sprinkle over salads or as an ingredient in fillings for pancakes and dumplings. With a protein content of 53 g per 100 g, dried shrimp are a nutritious supplement to the daily diet. The energy content is 993 kJ, equivalent to 234 kcal per 100 g, making them a low-calorie protein source. The product is packed in a sealed plastic bag that protects the contents from moisture and preserves shelf life. The bag contains 75 g of dried shrimp and is suitable for storage in a dry and cool environment. Dried shrimp are aimed at food enthusiasts who want to prepare authentic Asian dishes at home, including classics like tom yum soup and banh xeo. The product is an indispensable raw material for anyone working with Asian cuisine and seeking a natural source of umami without the addition of artificial flavour enhancers.
