ASIKO Whole Prawn 40g refers to a small, 40-gram packet of whole prawns (shrimp) that have been dried, typically sun-dried or air-dried. These are a popular ingredient in West African cuisine, particularly in Nigeria and Ghana.
Unlike fresh or frozen prawns, these are shrunken to a thumbnail size due to the drying process. This process concentrates their flavor, giving them a much more intense and savory “umami” taste of the sea.
ASIKO Dried Whole Prawns are a versatile pantry staple used to:
- Enhance Flavor: They add a rich, deep seafood flavor to soups, stews, and sauces, such as Egusi soup, Okro soup, and various vegetable stews.
- Thicken Dishes: When ground or rehydrated, they contribute body to dishes.
- Nutritional Boost: They are a good source of protein, calcium, and other minerals.
The 40g pack is a convenient size for individual recipes or for consumers who use dried prawns in smaller quantities. They are a beloved ingredient that brings an authentic taste of the ocean to traditional African dishes.
