Ground Shrimp (Camarón Molido) is made of small shrimp that are cooked in salted water, dried in the sun until shriveled then ground to a powder. It is a popular ingredient in Mexican, Asian and Cajun cuisines, where it adds a bold shrimp flavor. In Mexican cooking, ground shrimp is used to make shrimp patties (tortitas de camarón), a dish served during Lent. The concentrated flavor and fine texture of ground shrimp makes it an excellent flavor enhancer and thickener in soups, stews and sauces.
