Shrimp powder
Dried shrimp, is a widely used ingredient in West African cuisine, known for its intense umami flavor. In Benin and other parts of the region, dried shrimp is used as a seasoning to add depth and richness to soups, stews, sauces, and rice dishes. The shrimp are sun-dried, which concentrates their salty, slightly smoky flavor, making even a small amount impactful in cooking.
These dried shrimp are often ground into a powder or added whole to dishes, where they release their flavor during cooking. In addition to taste, crevette séchée provides protein, calcium, and essential minerals, making it a nutritious and flavorful staple in West African kitchens.
