How to distinguish the freshness of shrimp;

1, the fresh shrimp is bent. Fresh shrimp has a complete head and tail and is closely connected with the body. Shrimp body is quite hard, with certain elasticity and curvature. However, the head and body, shell and meat of aged shrimp are loosely connected, and the head and tail are easy to fall off or separate, which can not maintain its original curvature.

2. The surface of fresh shrimp is dry. Fresh shrimp looks clean and feels dry. However, when the shrimp body is about to deteriorate, the granular cells secreting mucus in the lower layer of crustaceans disintegrate, and a large amount of mucus penetrates into the body surface, which feels greasy. If the shrimp shell sticks to your hands, it means that the shrimp has gone bad.

3. Fresh shrimps are brightly colored. Different species of shrimp have slightly different colors. Fresh shrimps, rock shrimps and grass shrimps are blue, shrimps caught in the sea are pink, and bamboo shrimps and new shrimps with knife forehead are black and white with a slight pink color. If the shrimp has black hair, it is stale shrimp, and the whole shrimp is dark and not bright, which means it has gone bad.

4. Fresh shrimp shells are closely connected. Fresh shrimp shells are tightly attached to shrimp meat. When peeling shrimps with your hands, the shrimps will stick to your hands, and it takes a little effort to peel the shrimp shells. The intestinal tissue of fresh shrimp is also tightly attached to the shrimp meat. If there is looseness, it means that the shrimp is not fresh.
