Originating from the crystal-clear waters of Malaysia, these dried shrimps undergo a natural dehydration process that concentrates their aromas and nutrients. This ancient technique produces a product of exceptional richness of flavor, capable of instantly transforming your dishes into veritable sensory experiences. Quality guarantees a first-class local product, respectful of age-old culinary traditions.

Exceptional taste profile and nutritional properties

These premium dried shrimps develop a complex and sophisticated aromatic profile. Their natural salty-sweet taste, enriched by characteristic marine notes, brings incomparable depth of flavor to all your dishes. The firm yet tender texture after rehydration offers a textural contrast appreciated in many traditional Asian preparations.

Nutritionally, these dehydrated shrimps are an excellent source of complete proteins, essential for maintaining muscle mass. They are also rich in valuable minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, zinc and iodine, as well as B vitamins. This nutritional concentration makes our dried shrimps a particularly interesting natural food supplement for a balanced diet.

Traditional and creative culinary uses

The versatility of dried shrimps makes them an indispensable ingredient in many Asian culinary preparations. They are the perfect aromatic base for Malaysian sambals, where they add that characteristic umami depth. In Thai tom yum soups or Vietnamese pho broths, they create a rich, authentic taste base.

For Asian curries, dried shrimp are a perfect addition to curry pastes, enriching sauces with their concentrated marine flavors. They also excel in stir-fried dishes, fragrant rice and noodles, where a few rehydrated shrimps are enough to completely transform the taste of the dish. Chefs also use these premium shrimps to prepare homemade seasoning powders or fragrant oils.

Optimal preparation and preservation

Using these quality dried shrimps is remarkably simple and convenient. To prepare them, rinse briefly in cold water to remove excess salt, then soak in lukewarm water for 10 to 15 minutes until soft. You can then finely chop them to incorporate them directly into your preparations, or use them whole according to your culinary needs.

For use in sambals or curry pastes, mix the rehydrated shrimp with the other herbs to obtain a perfectly homogenous base. In soups and broths, add them directly during cooking, so that they gradually release their aromas. Some chefs prefer to sauté them briefly in oil before adding them to dishes, to further intensify their flavor.

As for storage, store your dried shrimps in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, away from direct light. Preserved in this way, they maintain their taste and nutritional quality for several months. Once opened, be sure to reseal the packaging or transfer the contents to an airtight jar to preserve product freshness. These 250g premium shrimps will accompany you in all your Asian culinary creations, bringing that authentic taste that makes all the difference in your traditional dishes!
