The cooked shrimp is either seasoned in a solution of common salt before drying or
boiled in seasoned water (saltwater) and dried in forced air dryers, usually for 6–7 h.
The dried shrimp are rotated in screen drums to remove shells and heads from the
dried meat. Dried shrimp tails are put in polyethylene bags and stored in a cool and
dry room. The yield of the dried meat ranges from 10 to 12% of the wet weight.
