Ebi

Ebi is the Japanese word for shrimp or prawn. It refers to a variety of decapod crustaceans found in both saltwater and freshwater environments worldwide. Shrimp are typically harvested from the wild or farmed, then cooked and peeled for use in various dishes.

Shrimp are often added to foods for their distinct flavor and texture. They are a popular ingredient in seafood dishes, sushi, stir-fries, and salads. Manufacturers use shrimp as a primary protein source or to enhance the overall seafood profile of a product.

Shrimp is a natural food ingredient and is not subject to FDA additive regulations. It is a good source of protein, selenium, and vitamin B12. While generally considered safe, individuals with shellfish allergies should avoid it. The World Health Organization (WHO) has not specifically evaluated shrimp as a food additive.
