Shrimp is one of the main marine products with strongest
worldwide trade interests. Shrimp production has significantly increased
in recent years, and it now ranked as the fishery product
with the greatest economic impact in the world. Fresh and frozen
shrimp are the main presentations under which this crustacean
is marketed. However, some products as dried salted shrimp are
manufactured in several countries to be used in the preparation
of traditional foods. Dried salted shrimp is prepared by boiling
raw shrimp in brine, dried under direct sunlight for 3–5 days,
and packaged in plastic bags for bulk storage (Tirawanichakul,
Naphatthalung, & Tirawanichakul, 2008)
