African Sea Ground Crayfish

Ground crayfish is the secret ingredient that gives Nigerian soups their unforgettable depth of flavor. Harvested from the rivers and creeks of the Niger Delta, these tiny freshwater crustaceans are sun-dried and ground into a fine, aromatic powder. No West African kitchen is complete without it — it is as essential as salt and pepper in Western cooking. The smoky, savory aroma of crayfish simmering in a pot of soup is the unmistakable smell of home.
