Do you need to remove the shrimp thread when boiling prawns?

It is best to remove the shrimp thread before boiling the shrimp. The shrimp thread is the shrimp's intestine, which generally contains unexcreted waste and heavy metals. The shrimp thread should be removed before cooking. In addition, the shrimp thread contains bitter substances, which will cover up the sweet taste of fresh shrimp under the action of heat. Failure to remove the shrimp thread will affect the taste of the shrimp.

The mud shrimp generally refers to the new type of shrimp, which tastes delicious and has the characteristics of thin shell, fat body, high meat yield and tender meat.

Boiled shrimp is a dish made with vermicelli, lettuce, dried chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, Pixian bean paste, onions, ginger and garlic as ingredients.

Although the bacteria in the shrimp thread will be killed by high temperature after cooking and it is safe, its taste and flavor are poor, so it is generally recommended to remove the shrimp thread before cooking.

How to prepare shrimp

If it is live shrimp, you can pour it into a basin and stir it continuously for about half a minute, so that most of the dirt on the shrimp can be cleaned. If it is frozen shrimp, you need to thaw it in advance and remove the head of the shrimp.

Whether it is live or frozen shrimp, it is recommended to clean the shrimp head, shrimp thread and other parts before cooking.

The mud shrimp generally refers to the Penaeus razorbackii, commonly known as sand shrimp and mud shrimp. It is classified into the class Crustacea, order Decapoda, family Penaeidae, and genus Penaeus.

In my country, mud shrimp is mainly distributed in the coastal areas of Fujian, Taiwan, Guangdong and Guangxi. It tastes delicious and has high economic value.

Because shrimp have a strong tolerance to low salt, high water temperature and low dissolved oxygen environment, they can survive for a long time out of water and are suitable for commercial farming.

How to store shrimp in the refrigerator

If you want to store the shrimps in the refrigerator, you need to put them in clean water, clean the shrimp antennae and shrimp threads, then put the shrimps into a clean plastic bottle and pour clean water into the bottle. Wait until the water surface submerges the shrimps, tighten the lid, and store the plastic bottle in the freezer of the refrigerator.

1. Cleaning

If you want to store the shrimp in the refrigerator, you must first clean it. Soak the shrimp in clean water to remove impurities and stains attached to the surface, then use scissors to cut off the shrimp thread, rinse it three times with clean water, and drain the water.

2. Bottling and sealing

The cleaned shrimps cannot be put directly into the refrigerator, otherwise they cannot be isolated from the air, which may easily cause the shrimps to deteriorate. Therefore, after cleaning, the shrimps should be put into clean and sterile plastic bottles one by one, and clean water should be poured into the bottles until the water submerges the shrimps.

3. Cryopreservation

After the shrimps are bottled and sealed, they can be placed in the freezer of the refrigerator and wait for the water to freeze. If there are a large number of shrimps and they cannot be eaten all at once, it is best to bottle them in batches to avoid thawing too much at one time and causing waste.
