1. Natural thawing method. The correct way to thaw frozen shrimp is to defrost naturally. After taking the frozen shrimp out of the refrigerator, place it at room temperature and allow it to thaw naturally. We can also sprinkle a layer of fine salt evenly on the surface of the frozen shrimp, which can not only defrost the shrimp quickly and naturally, but also remove part of the fishy smell of the shrimp. The shrimp thawed in this way are full of umami and have a good taste.
2. Cold salt water thawing method. In order to defrost the frozen shrimp faster, we can also soak the shrimp in cold water and add an appropriate amount of salt to the cold water. This will defrost the shrimp quickly and taste good, but some nutrients and umami will be lost into the water. .
3. Cold water rinse method. Rinsing the shrimp with cold water can also increase the thawing speed and shorten the thawing time of the shrimp, but the loss of nutrients and flavor will be greater. Never rinse or soak shrimp in warm water, let alone hot water. Otherwise, the defrosted shrimps will be meaty, lose all their taste, and have a stronger fishy smell.
