Stock your pantry with our generous supply of Oporo (Dried Prawns/Shrimp), the essential ingredient for authentic West African cooking. These large, wild-caught prawns are sun-dried and traditionally smoked to lock in an incredibly rich, savory umami flavor and aroma.

The  size is perfect for chefs, families, and anyone who frequently cooks large batches of Nigerian soups and stews. Oporo is indispensable for dishes like Okro Soup, Egusi Soup, Oha Soup, and Jollof Rice, providing a deep, complex, and smoky seafood background. You can use the prawns whole, roughly chop them, or easily grind them into a potent seasoning powder.
