1. Storage of shrimp before treatment
Shrimp can be put in the storage box without extra packaging. However, shrimps must be neatly and tightly stored together according to their size. Then cover the whole box with plastic film to prevent air from entering and keep the shrimp fresh.
2. Storage of shrimp after treatment
If you decide to deal with shrimp, you should first thoroughly remove the head, shell and tail. Then, the shrimps are washed and dehydrated, so that they are not densely put into the container. For fresh shrimp, don't store the whole shrimp in the refrigerator, because it will cause excessive damage. At the same time, to keep shrimp in good condition in the refrigerator, you need to pay attention to the following points.
3. Refrigerator temperature and location
When the temperature is much lower than 0℃ (28 F), shrimp can maintain high quality. The best place to collect cooling temperature should be in the refrigerator, because the temperature in the freezer is too low, which will leave bad taste and texture for shrimp.
4. Shelf life of shrimp
Shrimp is only valid for 3 to 4 days, so be sure to eat it in time, keep it well, and eat it before it expires. Note that shrimp, unlike many other foods, must be eaten or processed quickly before freezing, otherwise it will lose its freshness. Shrimp should be used immediately to get the best taste and nutrition.
In a word, with these suggestions, the preservation time of shrimp can be greatly extended. However, if the shrimp is found to be gray in color or smelly, it should be discarded.
