Description

Crayfish Powder, ground from dried shrimps and prawns, is one of the most essential seasonings in Nigerian cooking. Its intense umami flavor forms the flavor backbone of countless dishes.

It’s used generously in soups like Egusi, Efo Riro, Ogbono, and Jollof Rice, as well as in sauces, stews, and Moimoi.

A little goes a long way — stir it in early to let its flavor infuse throughout the dish.

Recipe tip: Toast lightly in a dry pan before use to deepen its aroma and flavor.
