Our reporter searched for several methods for peeling Pipi shrimps and verified them through experiments. On the morning of the 12th, the reporter bought fresh Pipi shrimps from the market. After cooking them, he selected a few of similar sizes for experiments. The simplest peeling method was used first.

The reporter picked up a Pipi shrimp, broke off the shrimp head first, and started peeling the skin from the thoracic section. Because the shrimp shell is hard, the reporter needs to use a lot of force to peel off the thoracic and abdominal sections. Peel off the shell. During the peeling process, some shrimp meat is peeled off along with the shell.

The most difficult thing to peel off was the shell on the underside of the abdominal segments. According to the gap in the dorsal shell that had just been peeled off, the reporter started peeling off the shell on the underside of the abdominal segments. The process was not smooth. The shrimp meat on the sides and bottom of the shrimp body is peeled off along with the shell.

What are the taboos for eating Pipi shrimp?

Pippi shrimp is a seafood. Do not drink beer when eating seafood. Seafood cannot be eaten with fruits high in vitamin C - these eat seafood. Most people already understand the taboos.

However, what kind of food should be eaten with seafood is the most nutritious and safest. Along with vegetables and fruits, seafood is an acidic food. It is best to eat it with alkaline foods such as vegetables, fruits, and beans to achieve an acid-base balance in the human body.

Many people know that soft-shelled foods such as shrimp contain high concentrations of pentavalent arsenic compounds, which when combined with large amounts of vitamin C, can turn into toxic arsenic. In fact, eating 50 medium-sized apples, or 30 pears, or 10 oranges, or eating more than 1.5 kilograms of raw green leafy vegetables at one time can be considered a large dose of vitamin C. There is no danger in eating fruits or vegetables while eating shrimp, as long as the amounts above are not exceeded.

In addition, if the food is heated and cooked, the vitamin C in the food will be greatly reduced. Therefore, when eating seafood, it is best to eat fried vegetables and eat less cold vegetables. In addition, we can also choose vegetables with relatively low vitamin C content, such as lettuce, carrots, black fungus, mushrooms, rape, etc. Do not choose vegetables with high vitamin C content such as bell peppers, cauliflower, cabbage, bitter gourd, and green amaranth. Among fruits, it is also best to choose apples and pears, and avoid foods high in vitamin C such as kiwi, oranges, and persimmons. Drink more protein-containing drinks. When eating seafood, it is best to drink non-alcoholic drinks, such as cola, or protein drinks such as coconut milk and almond milk. Because the sugars and proteins it contains not only do not combine with seafood to produce substances harmful to the body, but are also beneficial supplements to seafood nutrition. The reason why you should not drink fruit juice or alcoholic beverages is because alcohol can increase the level of uric acid in the blood and induce gout; most fruit juices are the essence of fruits and contain high levels of vitamin C.

Fried seafood is also very common. When stir-frying, you can pair it with alkaline vegetables, such as fried asparagus with seafood, fried loofah, shrimp balls, etc. Vegetables are also rich in vitamins, minerals and fiber, which seafood cannot provide. In addition, since seafood has very little fat content, it can also be appropriately paired with nuts rich in protein and fatty acids, such as cashews, pine nuts, etc.
