Question 1

Are dried shrimp healthy for daily consumption?

Accepted Answer

Dried shrimp are highly nutritious, being a concentrated source of protein and essential minerals like calcium and iron. However, they are often high in sodium, so they should be used in moderation as a flavor enhancer. At Yami, we offer various low-salt and unsalted options to suit your dietary needs.

Question 2

How do I properly rehydrate dried shrimp for cooking?

Accepted Answer

To rehydrate, soak the dried shrimp in warm or hot water for 10–30 minutes until they become plump. Larger varieties may require longer soaking. Don't throw away the soaking liquid—it's packed with umami and can be used as a flavorful base for soups or stews.

Question 3

What are the best ways to use dried shrimp in recipes?

Accepted Answer

Dried shrimp are incredibly versatile. They are commonly used to add umami to stir-fries, fried rice, and seaweed soups. They can also be ground into dried shrimp powder for seasoning or used as a key ingredient in dumplings and XO sauce. For a quick treat, try our ready-to-eat dried shrimp snacks.

Question 4

How should I store dried shrimp to keep them fresh?

Accepted Answer

Store dried shrimp in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. For maximum freshness and to extend shelf life up to 6–12 months, we highly recommend keeping them in the refrigerator or freezer after opening to maintain their vibrant color and savory aroma.

Question 5

What are the most popular dried shrimp brands available on Yami?

Accepted Answer
