How to pick shrimp, how to pick shrimp Shrimp selection skills

1. The body shape is curved. At present, many friends do not like the curved shrimp to eat, mainly because such shrimp generally look relatively small, and it is not easy to shell, but we don't know, fresh shrimp is to have a complete head and tail, the head and tail are closely connected with the body, the shrimp body is relatively straight, there is a certain elasticity and curvature, if you choose the shrimp head and body, shell and meat are connected loosely, the head and tail are easy to fall off or separate, can not maintain its original curvature, then it is very likely to be stale shrimp, More likely, it's already a dead shrimp.

2. The body surface is dry. The appearance of the live shrimp is clean, and it feels dry when touched by hand. However, when the shrimp body is about to deteriorate, the granular cells that secrete mucus under the carapace disintegrate, and a large amount of mucus seeps into the body surface, making it slippery to the touch. If the shell sticks to the hand, it means that the shrimp have gone bad.

3. Bright color. Depending on the species of shrimp, there is a slight difference in color. Fresh prawns, Roche shrimp and grass shrimp are blue, sea-caught prawns are pink, and bamboo shrimp and Jiwei shrimp have black and white patterns with a slight pink.

If the shrimp has black hair, it is not a fresh shrimp, and the whole shrimp is relatively black and not bright, which means that it has deteriorated.

4. The meat shell is tightly connected. The fresh shell is very tightly attached to the flesh, and when you peel the shell by hand, the flesh is sticky to your hands, and it takes a little effort to peel off the shell. The intestinal tissue of fresh shrimp and the shrimp flesh are also sticky tightly, and if there is a loosening phenomenon, it indicates that the shrimp is not fresh.

5. No peculiar smell. Fresh shrimp have a normal fishy smell, if there is a peculiar smell, it means that the shrimp have gone bad. In addition, it is important to pay attention to safety and hygiene when eating shrimp.

Shrimp may contain bacteria and parasites that are resistant to low temperatures, and even dipping them in vinegar and mustard cannot completely kill them, so it is recommended to eat them after they are cooked thoroughly. Shrimp that cannot be eaten should be refrigerated and heated before being eaten again.

Introduction: Shrimp is a kind of creature in the sea, there are many people who eat shrimp, many people will choose because of the tender meat of shrimp, and the nutritional value of shrimp is high, and the protein content is also very sufficient, can you not make your body healthy after eating such food, and there are many parents who will let their children eat shrimp often, because shrimp can also supplement calcium after eating, when children are deficient in calcium, such food is also the best choice, but when choosing shrimp, the problem comes, I am afraid that the shrimp selected is not fresh, So how to choose the best shrimp?

1.Don't buy dead shrimp

When we buy shrimp, we must know how to distinguish its freshness, eating seafood is a "fresh" word, the fresher it is. The more delicious the shrimp tastes, the more delicious it is, and the other way around, it will lose its umami and the meat will be "moldy".

Fresh shrimp, the shell and the muscle between the sticky is very tight, when we peel the shrimp meat by hand, it is necessary to spend a lot of uniforms, the shrimp intestine tissue of fresh shrimp and shrimp meat are also very sticky, yes, after refrigerated shrimp, the intestine and the meat are not too tight, we found that the shrimp intestines and shrimp meat are loose, it means that the shrimp is not dead and fresh.

When we buy live shrimp, if the shrimp will bubble from time to time, it means that it is fresh. The shell of the fresh shrimp must be hard, the color is green and bright, the eyes are protruding, the flesh is firm, and the taste is very fishy. If the shell is soft, gray and cloudy, the eyes are sunken, and the shell meat is slightly separated, it means that the shrimp has just died.

And shrimp with yellow and dark color, head and feet falling off, and loose flesh must not be bought, indicating that it has been dead for a long time.

2.Most of the darkened gills are sick shrimp

Recently, there have been related reports that some markets can buy shrimp for a few yuan a catty, and the original price is dozens of yuan for shrimp, why is it sold so cheap? Some experts pointed out that this was due to the fact that some of these cheap shrimp were found to contain fish drug residues, such as chloramphenicol. Therefore, it can only be sold at a reduced price, and due to the lack of management and detection methods in the aquatic market, such cheap shrimp can be sold in large quantities in the market, and those who are greedy for cheap have actually become victims.

We must pay attention to the observation when buying shrimp, generally speaking, the diseased shrimp that has been fed with medicine, the shrimp skin will have some black and white spots, and the shrimp gills will also appear black.

Everyone chooses shrimp in this way, to ensure that each shrimp is fresh, vivid, and the selection of shrimp also depends on the shrimp's **, many shrimp are dying, but at this time the traders must have brains, will sell the shrimp at a discount, in fact, such shrimp can not be bought, after eating the body's protein content will not be higher than live shrimp, although this discounted shrimp everyone sees that it is not dead, but it will not be long before it will die, you can observe in life.

1.Identifying wild and farmed shrimp: Wild and farmed shrimp vary greatly between wild and farmed shrimp at the same size and freshness.

Some unscrupulous traders often use farmed shrimp to pretend to be wild shrimp, in fact, there is a big difference in the appearance of the two, and you will not buy wrong if you carefully identify them: the beard of farmed shrimp is very long, while the beard of wild shrimp is short, and the head of farmed shrimp is long, with sharp teeth and soft texture, while the head of wild shrimp is short, blunt and hard.

When selecting, we should first pay attention to whether the shrimp shell is stiff and shiny, and whether the shrimp head and shell body are tightly attached to the shrimp body, hard and firm, and whether there is peeling.

Fresh shrimp is normal in color and smell; In addition, it is also necessary to pay attention to the firmness and elasticity of the shrimp flesh;

The shell of inferior shrimp is dull, the carapace becomes more black, the body color becomes red, and the carapace is separated from the shrimp body; The shrimp tissue is soft and smells of ammonia; The head of the shrimp has its chest and abdomen detached, and the head and carapace turn red and black.

3.The body color of farmed shrimp is affected by the substrate of the farm, and the body surface is blue-black, and the pigment spots are clear and obvious.

1. Look at the appearance. The head and tail of fresh shrimp are closely connected with the body, and the shrimp body has a certain degree of curvature, and the shell of the fresh shrimp must be hard and the eyes are protruding. If the shell is soft, the eyes are sunken, and the shell meat is slightly separated, it means that the shrimp has just died.

Shrimp with their heads and feet falling off and loose flesh must not be bought, indicating that they have been dead for a long time.

2. Check the color. Fresh shrimp have shiny skins, river shrimp are blue-green, and sea shrimp are blue-white (female) or egg yolk (male). Stale shrimp with dark shells and slightly reddish or grayish-purple shrimp.

3. The meat of fresh shrimp is firm and delicate, elastic.

4. Smell the smell. Fresh shrimp have a normal smell and no peculiar smell.

5. Ice shrimp is easier to preserve than fresh shrimp, and frozen shrimp should be selected with a slightly blue-gray surface, full feel and elasticity; It's best not to pick the big, red-looking ones.

1. The shape of the shrimp must be complete. The head and tail of fresh prawns are intact, with a certain degree of curvature, and the shrimp body is relatively straight. Stale prawns tend to fall off or leave their tails and cannot maintain their original curvature.

2. Shrimp is rich in histidine, but once it dies and deteriorates, histidine will be decomposed by bacteria into substances harmful to the human body. Therefore, you must be cautious in the selection of prawns, and remember not to use spoiled prawns.

3. The light color reflection of shrimp is fresh. The skin shell of the fresh prawn is shiny and blue-white, that is, the mold grill retains the original color. Stale prawns, the skin shell is dark, and the primary color changes to red or grayish-purple.

4. The meat quality of shrimp should be firm and elastic. Fresh prawns have firm and tender flesh, while stale prawns have fluffy flesh. Moreover, the body color of high-quality shrimp varies according to the male and female, the female shrimp is slightly brown and blue, and the male shrimp is slightly brown and yellow.
