A Louisiana dried shrimp thread with a discount at the end….
A few years ago I was reading something on the @southfoodways website and saw someone described as a “third-generation shrimp drier” https://www.southernfoodways.org/interview/louisiana-dried-shrimp/

One of our kids lives in New Orleans, and we visit often, but I’d never heard of Louisiana dried shrimp. I did some digging and found this: https://64parishes.org/shrimp-drying-in-louisiana
I’d also been following @koshersoul’s writing about the overlooked influence of West Africa cooks on low country food. It led me to this article with a single line about the use of dried seafood https://www.foodandwine.com/comfort-food/the-senegalese-roots-of-southern-cooking
I wanted to try some so kept digging. Google led me to Blum & Bergeron in Houma, who’ve been drying shrimp for more than a century. I ordered some of their Redbug dried shrimp. https://blumandbergeroninc.com/
And now we sell what I like to call the bacon of the sea.
