If you have a food dehydrator use that. If not, lay shrimp out on flat pan and put pan in sunny place that insects can't get to it. Turn shrimp occasionally till desired dryness is achieved.

Answer 3

Wash shrimps very well & drain,lightly fry in a little oil for a couple of minutes,prepare spinach using your favourite recipe,tastes better if chopped tomatoes are also added,when almost dry mix in the shrimps,allow to simmer for flavours to blend.Serve hot or cold.shrimps being salty you need to add less salt when cooking the spinach,also soaking shrimps in water for about fifteen minutes ,lessens the saltiness.

Answer 4

This is from what I have seen all around Bombay (Bombay is actually seven islands joined together, with original fishing villages still intact)

Small tiny prawn - they are just allowed to dry in hot sand and turned over from time to time (rather day to day) till they are dried crisp in hot sand.
Big prawn meat - prawns are cleaned and put to dry on horizontal bamboos. When they are semi dry, they follow the same process as above.
