What’s the difference between shrimp and shrimp?

As one of the most common aquatic products in people's daily lives, shrimp is always remembered by people and occupies an important place in various cuisines.

Shrimp can survive in both fresh water and sea water, and has strong reproductive capacity, challenging people's taste buds all the time.

Now let’s briefly introduce the common varieties of shrimp so that we can understand what kind of shrimp we eat?

This is the most well-known shrimp in both inland and coastal areas. It is named because of its thin shell and smooth and transparent body.

Also known as Chinese prawn, it has oriental characteristics.

The way to identify them is that the spines on the head of the shrimp are extremely long, usually exceeding the mouth of the shrimp, and the shrimp's whiskers are very long, so it can basically be judged to be a prawn.

Bamboo shrimp is named after the pattern of segments on its body. Its scientific name is Japanese prawn, also known as car shrimp.

Although Japan is in the name, its actual range of survival is very wide. It is widely distributed in the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, which shows how tenacious its vitality is.

Bamboo shrimps are often compared with nine-jointed shrimps. Many people think that bamboo shrimps and nine-jointed shrimps are the same kind of shrimp. Here is a good distinction: the bamboo shrimp has a yellow-blue band at the end of its tail.

Nine-section shrimp Nine-section shrimp are generally distributed in the south of Fujian, and mostly live in places where rivers enter the sea.

There are deep and shallow horizontal lines on its body. It is named after the obvious nine-segmented white pattern after being cooked. It is also called tiger spot shrimp, which is why it is often confused with bamboo shrimp.

According to legend, the nine-section shrimp has a very strong integrity. After it comes out of the water, it will spit out secretions to kill itself and prevent it from being eaten by natural enemies who like to taste fresh things. It has a sense of integrity that "it is better to be a piece of jade than to be a piece of tiles".

Argentinian red shrimp This is a kind of wild deep-sea shrimp. Unlike most shrimps that turn red after being cooked, Argentine red shrimp is inherently red, hence its name.

Because they are deep-sea shrimps, they often eat on the seabed, so a lot of sediment accumulates on their heads. You must pay attention to cleaning them when cooking.

Peony Shrimp Friends who often eat sashimi know that arctic clams, salmon and shrimp are the most popular in Japanese cuisine.

Peony shrimp, arctic shrimp, and bamboo shrimp can generally be used as sashimi, especially the fresh and tender taste of peony shrimp, which is unforgettable.

Peony shrimp is the best among shrimps. It belongs to cold-water shrimp and generally only survives in the high latitude waters of Japan and Canada. Therefore, peony shrimp is known as the "three high delicacies" with high popularity, high price and high quality. In

Except for Japan, it is difficult to eat it often.

If you want to taste delicious peony shrimp, you need enough luck and money.
