“Prawns Dried – Omoluabi 40g” refers to a 40-gram pack of dried prawns, typically of the small to medium size, under the “Omoluabi” brand. In Nigerian cooking, dried prawns are a highly valued ingredient, prized for their intense, concentrated seafood flavor and aroma.

These prawns are sun-dried or oven-dried, a traditional preservation method that not only extends their shelf life but also deepens their umami taste. They add a significant depth of flavor to a wide variety of Nigerian dishes, acting as a natural flavor enhancer.

Dried prawns are commonly used in:

• Soups and Stews: Such as Egusi Soup, Ofe Owerri, and various vegetable soups, where they contribute a rich seafood essence.
• Jollof Rice and Fried Rice: Adding a distinctive taste and aroma.
• Sauces and condiments: Often ground and used in spice blends or as a garnish.

The “Omoluabi” brand suggests a focus on quality, and the 40g pack is a convenient size for single-use or for households that use dried prawns sparingly, ensuring freshness and reducing waste. They provide an authentic touch to many Nigerian culinary preparations.
