1, Method 1: Pick a toothpick.

Pierce the gap in the second shell of shrimp with a toothpick and gently pick it out until the black shrimp intestines are picked out, and gently pull out the shrimp intestines with your fingers.

2. Method 2: Open the helmet.

Lift the armor of the shrimp head, pinch the joint between the shrimp stomach and the shrimp intestine with your fingers, and squeeze the dirty things on the shrimp head together with the shrimp line with a gentle pinch. After covering the helmet, it is still a complete shrimp.

3. Method 3: The shrimp head protrudes.

There is a protruding thorn in the middle of the shrimp head. Cut a hole in the thorn position with scissors, then cut off the tail thorn, and the whole shrimp line will be pulled out, which can keep the shrimp intact. This method can be used to treat larger shrimps, such as crayfish and prawns.

Matters needing attention in cleaning shrimp

When cleaning live shrimp, be sure to clean the surface of live shrimp with clear water for many times to ensure that the dirt on the surface is cleaned up, and then remove the shrimp feet and whiskers of live shrimp. At this time, you can cut it off directly with scissors, because it is easy to hide dirt around the shrimp feet, and it is not easy to wash it off simply by washing it with water. Then, cut off the shrimp gun, shrimp brain, shrimp yellow and shrimp stomach, and each cut part needs to be washed with running water.

If you buy frozen shrimp, thaw it first, then put it in a basin filled with water and let it stand for 2-3 hours, so that it can be completely thawed. If you want to speed up the thawing effect, you can add salt to the water, rinse the frozen shrimp with cleaning agent after it is completely thawed, then cut off the head, feet and whiskers of the shrimp, and then open the shrimp back to remove the shrimp line.
