What it is

Freeze-dried shrimp are small crustaceans that have been preserved through a process of freezing and then dehydrating them under a vacuum. This method removes water content, making them shelf-stable while retaining much of their original flavor and nutrients.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use freeze-dried shrimp to add a concentrated seafood flavor and texture to a variety of products without the spoilage concerns of fresh or frozen shrimp. They are commonly found in instant noodle dishes, soups, crackers, and snack mixes.

Health notes

Freeze-dried shrimp are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for consumption. They are a source of protein and minerals. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated food ingredients for safety, but specific evaluations for freeze-dried shrimp are not widely published. At typical consumption levels, they pose no known health risks.

Allergen info

Shrimp are classified as shellfish, which is one of the 9 major allergens recognized by the FDA. People with shellfish allergies should avoid this ingredient.
