About Shrimp powder

Shrimp powder is shrimp that has been dried and ground into a powder. The label identifies a seafood ingredient in powdered form, but does not establish a shrimp species, whether the shrimp is cooked, or whether a commercial product contains anything besides shrimp.

It is used in foods as a seafood seasoning or ingredient, including in some soups, sauces, and savoury preparations. The dry, finely ground form can disperse through other ingredients, while its flavour is shrimp-like and savoury. Colour, texture, and flavour intensity may vary with the shrimp and the drying and grinding process.
