What Is Dried Cat Tiger Shrimp (Wild-Caught)?
Dried Cat Tiger Shrimp is small wild-caught sea shrimp (Parapenaeopsis hardwickii) that is cleaned, cooked in lightly salted water, cold-dried and then peeled - head, shell, legs and tail removed - to give a clean, meaty dried-shrimp (PD) with concentrated sweet-savory flavor. Baseafood produces it with cold-drying technology, keeping the shrimp’s natural appearance and taste. Known in Vietnam as Tôm Sắt Biển Khô, it is a versatile umami ingredient across Vietnamese, Chinese and Southeast Asian cuisine - stir-fries, fried rice, soups, congee, salads, dipping sauces and fillings - and is enjoyed as a snack.
