Take out the toothpick prepared in advance, bend the shrimp into a crescent shape and hold it in your hand, insert it from the second or third section of the prawn with the toothpick, and then gently pick it out, so that the shrimp line can be easily taken out.
Lift the armor of the shrimp head, hold the joint between the shrimp stomach and the shrimp intestine with your fingers, and just squeeze it gently to squeeze out the dirty things on the shrimp head together with the shrimp line. After covering the helmet, it is still a complete shrimp.
It is better to remove the shrimp line when the shrimp is raw. Hold the shrimp head and the shrimp body with both hands, squeeze the shrimp head hard and squeeze out the shrimp brain, then grab the shrimp brain and pull it out. In this way, the shrimp body is cleaned, and the appearance of the shrimp is not affected at all.
Correct cleaning method of shrimp
1, salt water soaking method: This method is mainly used to remove dirt and odor on shrimp shells, and at the same time, it can enhance the umami taste of shrimp meat. Soak the shrimp in salt water 10 minutes or so, and then rinse it with clear water several times.
2. Hot water blanching method: blanch the fresh shrimps in boiling water, wait until the color of the shrimps turns pink, then remove them and blanch them in cold water, so as to remove the dirt and odor on the shrimp shells. Although this method is more troublesome than the soaking method, it can ensure the delicacy and tenderness of shrimp meat.
