The digestive system of shrimp such as intestine is easy to accumulate heavy metals, so the shrimp line should be pulled out before cooking. The shrimp line on the back of shrimp is the waste that shrimp has not excreted. Shrimp line removal is not only because there are dirty things in the digestive tract of shrimp, but also because it affects the taste, especially when steamed in white and braised in wine. Shrimp thread contains bitter substances, which will mask the sweetness of fresh shrimp under the action of heat.
