The nutritional value of shrimp skin is very high, and the protein content is higher than that of large yellow croaker, rice field eel, prawns, hairtail, pomfret and other aquatic products and meat products such as beef, pork and chicken.
In addition, the number and types of minerals are abundant. In addition to the iodine element that is lacking in terrestrial and freshwater organisms, the content of iron, calcium and phosphorus is also very rich. Astaxanthin is known as the "calcium pool". In fact, there is also an important nutrient in shrimp skin-astaxanthin. Astaxanthin is the strongest antioxidant found so far, also called super vitamin E [2]

Shrimp skin is one of the commonly used seasonings in our country. I prefer to stir-fry the shrimp skin and make it into powder. When cooking, you can also put some in it, which is very delicious and easy to preserve."

Ingredients

250g Dried Shrimp

Shrimp Powder

1. The shrimp skin I chose is from this brand

2. The color that looks natural is not very bright, nor does it feel wet, it is quite dry, and it tastes slightly salty, very fragrant, not bad

3. Put all the shrimp skins on the iron plate, and adjust the temperature to about 250 degrees. If you don’t have an iron plate, you can choose a pan and use medium heat.

4. Stir fry slowly

5. Pay attention to the temperature, don't burn the shrimp skin

6. It takes about 25 minutes to 30 minutes to try its dryness. When it is done, press it with a wooden spoon. If it becomes powder easily, it is done.

7. When its temperature drops, you can rub it with your hands and it will turn into a powder. Once it is done, it can be stored in a bowl or in a clean bottle.
