Shrimps

"Baby shrimp" typically refers to small or young shrimp, either in their juvenile stage or a small-sized variety like bay shrimp or krill. They're super versatile and loved for their sweet flavor, tender texture, and how quickly they cook.

Common Uses:

• Soups: Adds a sweet, umami depth, especially in Asian broths or miso soup.

• Salads: Tossed cold in shrimp cocktails or pasta salads.

• Omelettes or stir-fries: Quick to cook and blend well with eggs, veggies, or rice.

• Dried baby shrimp: Used in Asian cuisine as a seasoning or topping (especially in Korean, Thai, Bengali and Chinese dishes).

Quick Cooking Tip:

Since they're so small, don’t overcook them—they can go rubbery fast. A minute or two in a hot pan or broth is usually enough.
