Shrimp Dried has a high purine content of 748.9mg/100g — well above the safe threshold for gout. It's one of the foods to avoid. Shellfish like Shrimp Dried are moderate-to-high in purines. The Arthritis Foundation recommends eating shellfish only occasionally — the cumulative effect across a meal can add up.
Shrimp Dried is not recommended for gout. It contains 748.9mg of purine per 100g (high range: 150+mg), significantly raising the risk of uric acid buildup and gout attacks.
Boiling or stewing meat and discarding the cooking liquid can reduce purine content. Water-soluble purines leach into the water during cooking — do not consume the broth if reducing purine intake.

Anchovies, sardines, herring, mussels, scallops, codfish, trout, and haddock are among the highest-purine seafood. The Arthritis Foundation and Cleveland Clinic both list these as foods to limit or avoid with gout.

Since a low-purine diet limits certain seafood, consider plant-based omega-3 sources like walnuts, flaxseeds, and chia seeds. [Source: Cleveland Clinic]
