Don't Throw Them Out! Easy Furikake Using Shrimp Shells

Throwing out shrimp shells makes the trash smell fishy, and I didn't want to deal with that, especially in the summer. I figured it would smell better if I cooked it, but using a pan was too much of a bother, so I used the microwave, and it smelled really good♡. I then decided to turn it into a simple dried fish rice furikake. It made less trash, and I was able to eat something tasty; killing two birds with one stone!

You can also cook the shrimp shells in a pan instead of microwaving them.
I think the cooking time depends on the microwave used, but please be careful to cook them through thoroughly. Recipe by JUNSEI mama

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    This time I used 30 black tiger shrimp shells, but any kind is ok .

    Microwave until the water has evaporated and the shells have turned pink. Using my household microwave, it took 3 minutes initially, and then an additional 3 minutes after flipping them over at 500W.

  3. 3

    Finely grate in a food processor, mix in the salt and sesame, and it is done.

  4. 4

  6. 6

    User "Kuishinbo" used sakura shrimp and put it into lotus root burgers.

  7. 7

    When you only used a small amount of shrimp, store the shells in a bag in the freezer. Use them up in this recipe once you have accumulated some shells!
