Bought Loki shrimp should be soaked in salt water for 20-30 minutes, so that Loki shrimp can fully spit out the sand in its body, and then washed with clear water after the shrimp spits out the sand. We can use a small toothbrush to scrub the belly of river shrimp, so that the washed shrimp is cleaner. You should know that the rectum of shrimp is located on the back of shrimp, which is full of digestive residues. If it is not washed, it is easy to be eaten in the stomach, so removing shrimp lines is an important part of washing shrimp.
How to clean shrimp line:
1, prepare some toothpicks, toothpicks are used to pick shrimp lines. Count the third joint from the joint between the shrimp head and the shrimp body, use a toothpick to pass through the shrimp body, hold the shrimp body in one hand, and gently pick out the shrimp line with the toothpick in the other.
2. Generally, pick out the shrimp line near the shrimp head first. Slowly pull the shrimp line by yourself, and then the part of the shrimp line near the tail is completely pulled out. However, it should be noted that there is a very sharp thorn in the middle of the top of the shrimp head, which must be cut off when cooking.
3. Then pierce the joint between the shrimp head and the shrimp body with a toothpick. Put the shrimp under the tap, then pick it with a toothpick and wash away the black things at the joint. Because this part is dirty, it needs to be cleaned several times.
How to take out the internal organs of shrimp;
1, hold the shrimp's body, and then cut off a third of the shrimp's head with scissors (probably the starting point of the vertical line protruding from the middle of the head, including the eyes).
2. Then the shell of shrimp can be lifted, and we will see two things. Shrimp paste remains near the shrimp body, and the essence of shrimp is removed near the front end. This is the internal organs and other dirty things of shrimp.
When you see the shrimp paste and internal organs, take them out as usual. When you go to the shrimp head shell, you have torn off the internal organs. It should be noted that the shrimp paste is relatively large and covers the internal organs. You should uncover some shrimp paste and then gut it.
There is still time to cook shrimp. After boiling, add shrimp and cook for about 5 minutes. If it takes a long time, the meat quality will deteriorate and the nutritional value will be lost.
