The bought frozen shrimp tails need to be thawed at room temperature and cleaned before cooking. When cleaning shrimp tails, you can soak them in salt water for a period of time, and then stir them until the water becomes clear. In addition to using salt water, you can also soak them in baking soda mixed with water for cleaning.

What should I do with the frozen shrimp tails I bought?

It is suggested to blanch the shrimp tail once before cooking, which can not only remove the residual bacteria on the surface of the shrimp tail, but also shorten the subsequent cooking time. When blanching, pay attention to putting it in the pot with cold water, and take it out after 1 to 2 minutes.

Blanched shrimp tails can be directly boiled in hot pot, and can also be made into delicious dishes such as garlic shrimp tails, beer shrimp tails, spicy shrimp tails and sauteed shrimp tails.

In most cases, the shrimp tail refers to the crayfish with the head removed, so it is not necessary to remove the shrimp line when cleaning. If you buy river shrimp, it is recommended to remove the shrimp line when cleaning, so that it tastes better.
