How to choose good shrimp
- Freshwater shrimp are usually abundant in rural areas, especially during the month of November.
- When choosing freshwater shrimp, look for those that are still fresh, with non-bulging bellies or faded colors.
- Additionally, you can also observe the tail of the shrimp to see if it is still fresh. Fresh shrimp have their tails curled inward, while those with tails spreading out may have been chemically treated and should not be purchased.
- Moreover, the bodies of fresh shrimp are usually straight, not curled, and the heads should still be firmly attached to the bodies.

Mix seasoning for stir-frying shrimp
Add 1 teaspoon of seasoning powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, 2 teaspoons of sugar, 2 teaspoons of Korean chili powder, and 1 teaspoon of pepper into a bowl to prepare the seasoning for stir-frying the shrimp. Mix well to dissolve the ingredients completely and prevent clumping.

Sautéed Dried Shrimp
Place a pan on the stove, turn on medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil, wait for the oil to heat up, add the dried shrimp, then add all the seasoning powder for the shrimp.
Stir well to ensure the seasoning completely dissolves into the shrimp. After that, stir the shrimp for about 5 minutes, observing that the shrimp has a light orange color, add 2 tablespoons of water to help the seasoning dissolve and soak into the shrimp more easily.
Finally, add 1 teaspoon of chili powder to enhance the color of our shrimp dish. Stir for another 2 minutes to make the shrimp drier, creating a crisp texture for better preservation.
