Shrimp Snacks

Ingredients:

  • 1-2 lb raw shrimp, peeled and deveined

Instructions (Oven Method):

  1. Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C).

  2. Pat shrimp dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

  3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a wire rack.

  4. Arrange shrimp in a single layer, leaving space between each piece.

  5. Bake for 2–3 hours, flipping shrimp halfway through, until they are fully dry and slightly crispy.

  6. Let cool completely before serving.

Instructions (Dehydrator Method):

  1. Pat shrimp dry as above.

  2. Arrange shrimp in a single layer on dehydrator trays.

  3. Set dehydrator to 145°F (63°C) for seafood.

  4. Dry for 4–6 hours, or until shrimp are firm, chewy, and fully dehydrated.

  5. Let cool before serving.

If you don't have a dehydrator at home, we highly recommend getting one to make treats for your dogs easier and you can make a lot at once. This stainless steel dehydrator from Amazon is extremely powerful with 1200W, has overheat protection, and PERFECT for dog jerkies treats.

Storage:

  • Airtight container in the fridge: 1 week

  • Freezer: up to 2 months

These Rubbermaid containers are both fridge and freezer safe that we highly recommend.

Tip: Shrimp snacks are protein-packed and naturally flavorful treats dogs love. Using a dehydrator makes the process easier, keeps shrimp chewy, and allows batch-making. Check out this dehydrator from Amazon for a convenient, high-quality option.
