Shrimp meat can be eaten raw, but you should pay attention to the following points:

Freshness: It is very important to choose fresh shrimp meat and make sure it has no peculiar or fishy smell. It’s best to choose freshly caught or frozen shrimp.

Temperature Control: If you plan to eat raw shrimp, make sure it is stored and handled at the proper temperature. Shrimp meat should be stored at low temperatures and hygienically prepared and eaten.

Hygiene conditions: Before handling shrimp meat, make sure the work area and tools are clean to prevent cross-contamination. Shrimp meat should be cut with a clean knife and board.

Fresh water source: If you plan to use shrimp meat as sashimi, it is recommended to use fresh cold water to wash the shrimp meat to remove surface dirt and bacteria.

Consumption risks: Eating raw shrimp meat may involve the risk of food-borne diseases, such as parasitic infection or bacterial contamination. For people with weak immune systems or specific groups (such as pregnant women, the elderly, infants, etc.), it is recommended to avoid eating raw shrimp meat.

If you choose to eat shrimp raw, you can also choose to cook it quickly, such as poaching or flash-frying. This kills bacteria and parasites and improves food safety.

In general, shrimp sashimi is fine to eat under the right conditions, but make sure you know where the shrimp comes from and take appropriate hygiene and food safety measures. If there is any doubt, it is best to cook the shrimp before eating it to ensure food safety.
