Shrimp is a type of seafood that many people love because it is fresh and nutritious. Shrimp can be prepared in various dishes such as steamed, boiled, stir-fried, braised, grilled, and salad, all of which are extremely appealing. Shrimp meat is naturally sweet and firm, so anyone who eats it enjoys it. Especially for families with young children, they often eat shrimp more often to supplement nutrition for their children.
However, not everyone knows how to buy delicious and fresh shrimp without being injected with water or chemicals. Especially when buying frozen shrimp, if you don’t know how, you might end up buying shrimp that has been stored for a long time or died before being frozen, and the quality of the food will no longer be good.
Therefore, chefs have shared some very useful tips so that whether you’re buying fresh or frozen shrimp, you can still choose good ones to bring home.
1. Look at the color
Look at the shrimp shell, high-quality shrimp usually have a blue-white color, male shrimp have a light yellow color, and the shrimp shell is bright in color and the shrimp head is tightly connected to the shrimp body.
2. Choosing curved or straight shrimp?
When buying frozen shrimp, you will see some curved ones and some straight ones, so which one is better? Chefs say that many people tend to choose straight ones because they feel that it is easier to process.
However, the surprising thing is that chefs recommend choosing the curved ones because they are the shrimp that are still alive before being frozen. But for the dead shrimp, they will not have any strength, so they will be stretched out straight. Therefore, don’t buy these ones because they have died before being preserved.
3. Look at the connection point between the shrimp head and the shrimp body
This part is prone to discoloration. If the connection point between the shrimp head and the shrimp body is black and not tight, it looks like the shrimp head is about to fall off, indicating that the shrimp is no longer fresh. Do not buy shrimp like that.
4. Elasticity
Hold the shrimp and try to pull it straight, if the shrimp does not bounce back to its original position, it means that it has been dead for a long time and is no longer fresh.
