Step 1

Rinse dried shrimp under running water. Drain then put into a small bowl. Add hot water enough to fully submerge the shrimp.

Step 2

Leave to soak for 10-20 minutes, depending on their size, until they become a little more plump and softer.

Step 3

Following the instructions of the recipe you use, you may use them whole, chopped small, minced, or mashed into a paste.

You don’t need to rehydrate papery dried shrimp. Following the instructions of the recipe you use, you may use them whole, finely chopped, or minced.

Keep dried shrimp in airtight containers or bags. Store in the refrigerator for up to two months.

Step 6

You may also freeze them, ideally in small batches. Defrost in the refrigerator before using. Consume before the expiry date.
