Shrimp skin is good, but it tastes very particular. Shrimp skin and dried shrimp contain volatile nitroso compounds such as dimethylnitrosamine, which will lead to excessive intake of carcinogens. Seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. The specific method is to soak it in water several times and blanch it again. Or, direct exposure to the sun for 3-6 hours can also achieve the purpose of reducing carcinogens. Blister is the fastest and most effective method. People remember bubbles when eating shrimp, but they often forget this step when eating shrimp skin. If you soak in cold water, you need to change the water 3-5 times. If you use warm water, it is enough to soak it for two or three times. After the shrimp skin is soaked in water, it can be easily picked up with a small filter.

Soaking shrimp skin with water first can not only ensure food safety, but also remove excessive salt and possible fine sand. Moreover, it can also remove some odor of shrimp skin itself, such as the smell of washing nose after ammoniation, so that the cooked dishes are fresh but not fishy. It should be noted that shrimp should not be soaked in water for more than 20 minutes. Shrimp skin is thin, and the soaking time is too long, so many water-soluble nutrients will be precipitated and lost.
