These shrimps are seasonal and found in the Straits of Melaka. To preserve them, the shrimps are mixed with an equal proportion of cooled cooked rice and salt and left to ferment for a few days. Preserved shrimps are eaten with rice as a relish. Some people have also been known to put in ice cubes to reduce the saltiness. Preserved shrimps can be used in other dishes as well.
