From Mild to Wild: Choosing the Right Spice Level for Your Sprinkles

Some days, the irresistible urge for something deliciously sweet or crunchy tangy crisp takes center stage. 

So, if you are sick of the same boring meals and longing for a flavor that captivates your taste buds, get ready for a treat! 

Start your flavorful journey with regular peanut/shrimp sprinkles to add joy to salads, sandwiches, and soups. If you feel a bit more adventurous, choose spicy sprinkles to savor the ultimate flavor explosion. 

Read on to explore the art of choosing the perfect spice level for your sprinkles. 

1. Normal or Non-Spicy Sprinkles 

Non-spicy sprinkles are flavorful toppings that add texture and taste to dishes without heat. They are versatile and complement various dishes. 

Regular peanut sprinkles offer a nutty crunch, enhancing salads or desserts. And shrimp sprinkles with seafood, pasta, or rice dishes.

Incorporate them in savory dishes during the final stages of cooking for optimal texture.

Start with a tablespoon and adjust the amount based on your preference. Moreover, for desserts, lightly coat ice cream or cakes.
