Soaking washing is a common method to clean shrimp. Put crayfish or other shrimps into a container and add enough water, whichever is not shrimp. Add proper amount of edible salt and baking soda or edible alkaline noodles, stir well and let stand for 20 minutes. In this process, we can see that the water becomes very turbid, because the dirt on the shrimp is softened and gradually dissolved into the water. After 20 minutes, rinse the shrimp with clear water. This step may require multiple rinses to ensure that there is no residual dirt on the shrimp.

Brush the shrimp surface lightly with a brush to remove dirt and impurities that are difficult to remove. Finally, rinse with clear water, mix white wine and white vinegar together, pour into water, stir well, soak for a few minutes, and then rinse with clear water. Soaking method is a simple and easy way to clean shrimp. When shrimp is soaked in salt, baking soda or the solution of edible alkaline noodles, white wine and white vinegar, impurities and peculiar smell can be removed more easily, and shrimp meat is more refreshing and delicious.

Method of selecting shrimp

1, look at the appearance: fresh shrimp, the shape looks naturally curved, the head and tail of the shrimp are closely connected with the shrimp body, and the head and tail are complete; On the other hand, stale shrimp looks less bent, and the connection between the head and tail and the shrimp body is loose, which makes it easy to fall off.

2, touch your hands: first touch the shrimp shell, if it feels sticky, it means that the shrimp has deteriorated, buy the shrimp shell that feels dry; Then try to peel the shrimp shell by hand. Fresh shrimp, shrimp shell and shrimp meat are closely attached and are not easy to shell. If peeled off, it feels very relaxed, and the shrimp shell and meat have been obviously separated, indicating that the shrimp is not fresh.

3. Smell: Fresh shrimp smells like seafood, which is within the acceptable range; If it smells strange or smelly, it means it has gone bad. Don't buy it.
