Loitta-Shrimp Mix

Loitta-Shrimp Mix (লইট্টা-চিংড়ি মিক্স)

The Loitta-Shrimp Mix is a legendary coastal combination, particularly celebrated in the Chittagong region of Bangladesh. This mix brings together the soft, gelatinous texture of Loitta (Bombay Duck) with the sweet, firm crunch of Shrimp. Whether in fresh or dried (Shutki) form, this duo creates a complex "oceanic" flavor profile that is both savory and satisfying.

Product Specifications

Pro Tip: Loitta fish releases a lot of water when cooked fresh. Do not add extra water to the pan. Let the shrimp cook in the natural juices released by the Loitta for the most concentrated flavor.

• Loitta-Chingri Bhuna: A thick, spicy stir-fry with an abundance of garlic, onions, and red chili. The shrimp are tossed in halfway through to ensure they don't overcook.

• Loitta-Shrimp Shutki Masala: The dried version of this mix is often cooked until it reaches a "fudge-like" consistency, often served with hot steamed rice.

• Mixed Seafood Chorchori: Cooked with thin strips of potato and eggplant, where the two seafood types infuse the vegetables with their juices.
