About Shrimp flour

Shrimp flour is shrimp processed into a fine, dry powder or flour. The name identifies the seafood ingredient and its milled form, but does not specify the shrimp species, whether it is cooked before drying, or any additional ingredients that may be present in a packaged product.

It can be used as a concentrated seafood ingredient in seasonings, batters, soups, sauces, or other foods, depending on the product. Its appearance is generally powdery, and its flavour is characteristically shrimp-like and savoury; colour and fineness can vary with processing. The term alone does not establish a particular recipe or processing method.
