Hello, everyone, I am Mianyanmayu, and I will share different exciting information with you every day.

Today we will discuss, if the shrimp in the refrigerator turns black, can it still be eaten?

Let’s talk about it in detail below.

It’s ready to eat

Peel off the skin and fry the shrimps. Shrimp in this condition are no longer suitable for cooking with the shell. Only shrimps that have been thawed repeatedly will have their tails, feet, heads, and gills turn black. Therefore, eat as much shelled shrimp as you can defrost, otherwise they will turn black after thawing twice.

Astaxanthin is widely found in nature, such as in the bodies of most crustaceans and salmonid fish, the leaves, flowers, fruits of plants, and the feathers of flamingos. Astaxanthin has a variety of physiological effects, such as antioxidant, anti-tumor, cancer prevention, immunity enhancement, and vision improvement.

How to tell if the shrimp is bad?

1. Check whether the shrimp head has fallen off. If the whole shrimp is relatively complete and the head and tail are closely connected to the body, it means the shrimp is relatively fresh. If the head of the shrimp has fallen off, the head and body, the shell and the meat are loosely connected, and the head and tail are easy to fall off or separate, they are not fresh.

2. Shrimp that has been cooked and then frozen. Look at the color of the shrimp head. The shrimp heads are very bright and not black, so they are good shrimps. And if it turns black, it is stale. Red shrimps are cooked and have black heads because they were frozen after death, or have deteriorated significantly. You cannot buy them.

3. Frozen raw prawns. Look at the color of the shrimp shell. Relatively white, bluish-white is the best, not red, red is stale.

In short, when buying shrimp, you must have certain skills to distinguish between good and bad shrimps. You must choose shrimps with complete bodies, dense carapace, clear shell, firm muscles, elastic body, and dry and clean body surface. of. As for shrimps with loose meat, red color and fishy smell, they are not fresh enough and should not be eaten. Generally speaking, the head that is closely connected to the body is relatively fresh. Therefore, when purchasing fresh shrimps, you should pay attention to identify them to avoid buying stale shrimps.
