Store dried shrimp in the refrigerator compartment
This is one of the popular and quite convenient methods, suitable for families who need to use dried shrimp for a short time. For this preservation method, first, divide dried shrimp into small portions, just enough for each cooking, then put them in zip bags or sealed boxes and place them in the refrigerator compartment.
Storing in the refrigerator helps keep the shrimp delicious for about 1-3 weeks. If left longer, the shrimp will harden and lose its original flavor.
Store dried shrimp in the freezer
If you want to extend the storage time, the freezer compartment is the best choice. Similar to when storing in the refrigerator compartment, you should divide the shrimp into small portions for convenience in taking them out for use. When you need to process them, you just need to take them out and thaw them about 15-30 minutes in advance.
Dried shrimp when preserved in this way can extend the shelf life up to 1 year.
Store dried shrimp at room temperature
In case the refrigerator is no longer empty, you can still store dried shrimp at regular temperature. With this method, you should vacuum or put the shrimp in a closed container, then place it in a dry, cool place.
This preservation method helps dried shrimp maintain their deliciousness for about 1-2 months, depending on temperature and environment conditions. In addition, every 1-2 weeks you should check to see if the shrimp are damaged or not. In addition, you can place an additional dehumidifier package near the preservation location to limit moisture and mold.
Preservating dried shrimp properly not only helps extend the shelf life but also retains its rich sweetness and nutritional value. Applying the above methods will help you feel more secure when using dried shrimp to prepare delicious dishes for your family.
