Dry Shrimp 200g is a staple ingredient in many Asian, African, and Latin American cuisines. Known for its concentrated savory taste, this dried seafood ingredient is often referred to as a "natural flavor enhancer." AL MODINA HALAL FOOD brings you premium-quality, sun-dried small shrimps that are clean, free from excess grit, and packed with an intense aroma. Whether you are making a simple vegetable stir-fry or a complex curry laksa, these shrimps add a depth of flavor that fresh seafood simply cannot match.
Our dried shrimps are carefully selected for their size and color. They are dehydrated to preserve their quality, resulting in a firm texture that softens beautifully when soaked. They are an essential pantry item for anyone who loves cooking authentic Chinese, Malaysian, Thai, Indonesian, or Nigerian dishes.
Not all dried seafood is created equal. Some can be too salty, while others may contain sand or impurities. At AL MODINA HALAL FOOD, we prioritize quality and hygiene. Dry Shrimp
1. Sun-Dried Perfection Our shrimps are dried using traditional methods to lock in the natural sweetness and savory notes. This process concentrates the flavor, meaning you only need a small amount to season a large pot of soup or a wok full of vegetables.
2. Clean and Sand-Free One of the biggest complaints about dried seafood is the presence of sand. We ensure our Dry Shrimp 200g pack is processed carefully to minimize impurities, saving you time in the kitchen.
3. Versatile Size These are medium-small shrimps, which are the most versatile size for cooking. They are small enough to be sprinkled into fried rice but large enough to provide a nice chewy texture in sambals and sauces.
This ingredient is incredibly versatile. It provides a savory "umami" kick that salt alone cannot provide. Here is how you can use it in your daily cooking:
Noodle Soups: Essential for dishes like Prawn Mee (Hokkien Mee) and Laksa. Topping the soup with fried dried shrimps adds an extra layer of texture.Dry Shrimp
Vegetable Soups: Boil a handful of rinsed shrimps with spinach, winter melon, or hairy gourd for a sweet and savory clear soup.
Cabbage & Long Beans: Sauté garlic and soaked shrimps until fragrant before adding vegetables. This is a classic home-cooked dish in many Asian households.
Fried Rice (Nasi Goreng): Pound the shrimps slightly and fry them with the rice. They act as flavorful little salty bites that make the dish irresistible.
Char Kway Teow: No plate of fried flat noodles is complete without the savory chew of preserved seafood.
Sambal Belacan: Blend these shrimps with chilies, garlic, and lime to create a spicy condiment that goes with everything.
XO Sauce: The primary ingredient in the famous gourmet XO sauce is high-quality dried scallops and shrimps.
Dumplings & Glutinous Rice: Chopped dried shrimps are often mixed with mushrooms and pork (or chicken alternatives) to fill sticky rice dumplings (Zongzi) or savory taro cakes.
Turnip Cake (Radish Cake): Gives the famous Dim Sum dish its signature savory aroma.
To get the best flavor and texture out of your Dry Shrimp 200g, proper preparation is key.
The Soaking Method Most recipes require you to soak the shrimps before cooking.
Quick Soak: Soak in warm water for 10–15 minutes to soften them slightly.
Full Soak: For softer texture, soak in cool water for 30 minutes. Pro Tip: Do not throw away the soaking water! It is packed with flavor and can be added to your soup or stir-fry sauce.
Frying for Aroma If you want to bring out the maximum aroma, drain the soaked shrimps and pat them dry. Then, sauté them in a little oil until they turn golden and smell fragrant before adding your other ingredients.
Grinding for Seasoning You can toast the raw dried shrimps in a dry pan and then grind them into a fine powder. This "shrimp powder" can be sprinkled over noodles, salads, or rice as a natural seasoning salt.
