Easy Chinese Shrimp and Mushroom Soup | Introducing another “secret” ingredient

Chinese Shrimp and Mushroom Soup is easy to make at home. The “secret” ingredient I use to flavor the soup is dried shrimp. If you can get hold of that, it is very versatile to add flavor in soups or stir-fry. Also, seafood mushrooms have very distinct umami taste and are very crispy. Enjoy!
