1. Bottle preservation method.
Put the fresh shrimps one by one into empty beverage bottles, fill them with water, tighten the bottle caps, and put them in the refrigerator. In this way, the shrimp is completely isolated from the air and there will be no odor transfer. Before eating, take out a bottle and defrost it in advance. Use a knife or scissors to break the bottle open. One bottle is enough to make one plate. This method is simple, convenient, clean and neat, and the most important thing is to keep it fresh and prevent it from drying out or losing odor. Because the shrimp is isolated from the air, the shrimp meat is as fresh as new ones and will not become dry.
2. Fresh-keeping bag freezing method.
First buy a thickened plastic bag. Cut off the thorns on the tails and heads of the newly purchased shrimps to avoid puncturing the bag and losing their freshness. Place them straightly in a fresh-keeping bag. After filling the bag, put 3 more similar fresh-keeping bags on the outside of the bag, seal it with transparent tape, and put it directly in the refrigerator. Then turn the refrigerator to the highest setting for 8 to 10 hours, so that it freezes well and stays fresh. When eating, take out a bag and soak it in water.
The disadvantage of this method is that the fresh-keeping bag is easy to break. Once the fresh-keeping bag is broken, the shrimp will no longer be fresh, will become dry, and will easily lose odor, and the taste will deteriorate over time.
3. Fresh box freezing method.
Cut off the shrimp tentacles and shrimp guns and neatly stack them in the safe. No need to put water in. Just close the lid to ensure there are no gaps and place it directly in the refrigerator for quick freezing. When eating, I took a larger fruit knife and pried it off gently, and it was still intact. Such shrimps have the same fleshy texture as freshly bought shrimps, and can be stored for when fresh shrimps are available next year.
