1. Introduction to Ca Mau Dried Shrimp
Table of Contents
Ca Mau Dried Shrimp (Tôm Khô Cà Mau) is world-renowned as the finest dried shrimp variety from Vietnam. Originating from the mangrove forests of the Ca Mau peninsula, these shrimps are typically harvested from natural eco-systems where they grow without industrial feed.
At Vinahugo, our dried shrimps are processed using traditional methods combined with modern food safety standards. We select only the freshest Giant Tiger Prawns or Rach Goc earth shrimps, boiled in slightly salted water and dried under natural sunlight or high-tech heat pumps to achieve a vibrant red color and a firm, sweet, and savory flavor.
