Shrimp is nutritious, soft and easy to digest, which is an excellent food for people who are weak and need to be nursed back to health after illness. Shrimp is rich in magnesium, which can protect the cardiovascular system, reduce the cholesterol content in blood and prevent arteriosclerosis.

Shrimp contains 20% protein, which is one of the foods with high content in protein, several times or even ten times that of fish, eggs and milk. Compared with fish, shrimp contains valine, an essential amino acid, which is not high in content, but it is a balanced source of protein. In addition, shrimp contains glycine, and the higher the content of this amino acid, the higher the sweetness of shrimp.

Precautions:

1. The ingredients of the new prawn must be fresh. When buying shrimps, you should choose shrimps with complete body, dense carapace, clear shell, tight muscles, elastic body and dry and clean body surface. As for the shrimp with loose meat, reddish color and fishy smell, it is not fresh enough to eat. Generally speaking, the head is closely connected with the body and is relatively fresh.

2. Don't eat shrimp raw: Shrimp may contain cold-tolerant bacteria and parasites. Even vinegar and mustard can't completely kill parasites and eggs, so they should be cooked before eating.

3. Users with allergic diseases should avoid eating shrimp.
