Matters needing attention in shrimp selection
1, see if the shrimp head and shrimp body are closely connected.
Fresh prawns have elastic muscles, so the connection between the head and the body is very close. After the shrimp dies for a period of time, the muscles will become slack, and there will be gaps at the joint between the shrimp head and the shrimp body. The bigger the gap, the less fresh the shrimp meat is.
2. See if the color of prawns is black.
Fresh shrimp shells are shiny and bluish green in color; The color of shrimp is yellow or white, and it is also very bright. If the shrimp head is black, it means it is not fresh.
Do you smell prawns?
Fresh prawns smell almost tasteless, with a hint of fishy smell at most. If prawns can smell bad smell or sour taste, it means that prawns have gone bad. If you smell a pungent smell, it's probably prawns treated with chemicals, so you can't buy them.
4. Is the shrimp elastic?
Fresh prawns are rich in water, and shrimp meat is more elastic, which can be recovered immediately by pinching it with your hands. If you feel soft with your hands and cannot recover, it means that the shrimp meat is not fresh.
