3. Notes when making steamed shrimp:
– When buying shrimp, you should choose the ones that are still floating, with a smooth glossy shell and a firm touch when pressed. Fresh and delicious shrimp often have the head tightly attached to the body and still have intact whiskers.
– Avoid buying shrimp with yellow shells, hard shells or strange smells as they are usually preserved for a long time and are no longer fresh.
– To remove the black thread on the back of the shrimp, you can make a small cut along the back and remove it with a toothpick.
– Do not steam the shrimp for too long as it can cause the shell to dry out, making the shrimp meat become dry and lose its natural sweet aroma. The signs of over-steamed shrimp are bent and folded bodies and the head touching the tail. In addition, you should also enjoy the steamed shrimp dish when it is hot, to avoid it becoming fishy.
– Although shrimp is delicious and nutritious, people with asthma, red eyes, cough… should not eat this food to avoid worsening their condition.
