Indonesians call dried shrimps "ebi". In my opinion, one of the best ebi here can be found in a city called Medan. Along with teri Medan, ebi Medan is famous for its versatility and umami flavor. I like to soak it a bit in the water, but some prefer to use it as is. Ebi can be used in fried rice, fried noodles, soup, sambal, and a bunch of others.

I used black and regular rice for this fried rice (1:5 made in rice cooker) so the steamed rice is purplish in color.
