What are shrimp slices made of? Let's start with the origin of shrimp slices. In fact, shrimp slices are an "exotic product", which was originally popular in Southeast Asia, especially Indonesia. People in the local area call this kind of food "Krupuk". In fact, there are many other varieties, mainly according to the different materials to distinguish. For example, different kinds of starch and different animal ingredients are added to obtain fried puffed food with different tastes.
Traditional shrimp slices really contain shrimp ingredients. Simply put, dried hard shrimp slices are made by fermenting or grinding shrimp with low edible value, then adding starch and a little seasoning, then cooking, cooling, slicing and drying. When cooking, crispy and delicious shrimp slices can be obtained by frying. When I was a child, there were few kinds of snacks, so I liked to eat shrimp slices.
Why did it rise so much when it exploded?
Nowadays, there are few ingredients in shrimp slices, and many colorful products are all kinds of pigments and additives at first glance. However, this does not affect the crispness of fried shrimp slices, because fried shrimp slices will swell, because their main component is starch, which will swell when exposed to high oil temperature. Moreover, its expansion coefficient is very high, and the residual water will evaporate at high speed to form a brittle structure full of bubbles. In fact, we can see a similar phenomenon when we burn a vermicelli with a lighter at home. However, the fried shrimp slices outside are really not healthy snacks. After all, its ingredients are basically only a lot of fat and a part of carbohydrates, and a small amount of protein.
However, we can make some healthy shrimp slices ourselves, which can not only satisfy the crisp memory of eating fresh shrimp as a child, but also meet the dietary needs of low calorie and low fat.
Homemade shrimp slices
So did you eat shrimp slices when you were a child? Will you be interested in the legendary "fried air" for 30 dollars a plate?
Friends who are interested in food, healthy diet and food anecdotes can pay attention to and like it, and share interesting and useful related content together in the future! Speaking of shrimp slices, it was really my main snack when I was a child, because it was very cheap, often a few dollars each, so I could buy a lot of shrimp slices and fry them in the oil pan. Swelling shrimp slices can last for at least a few days, especially those with bright colors, which feel good and delicious.
But I didn't know until I grew up that the more beautiful the original shrimp slices are, the brighter they look, so they are unhealthy to eat, because the shrimp slices are mainly made of shrimp powder and starch, and the shrimp slices made of these two materials can't be white at all, and some of them are colored.
Therefore, in order to make the shrimp slices white, bright and colorful, it is necessary to add various additives that can achieve the effect in the process of making shrimp slices, and these additives are not good for people, not only are they not good, but they will also have a certain negative impact on people's health if they eat too much.
Especially when we go out to eat, some restaurant owners will give some shrimp slices as pre-meal snacks to their guests in order to retain their guests, and the price of these shrimp slices they send can be said to be quite cheap, because most of these shrimp slices are processed by small workshops, and there are basically no shrimp ingredients in them, and some are just various additives.
Normal good shrimp slices are usually light yellow in color, which looks not very good, and its thickness is about1.5-2 mm. After frying, the surface of shrimp slices looks honeycomb to the naked eye, that is to say, most fried shrimp slices are covered with small holes, and the uglier they are, the more normal they are.
Last tip: it is not recommended to buy shrimp slices at roadside stalls, because you can't guarantee whether their shrimp slices are processed in small workshops. It is best to buy them in large supermarkets or online flagship stores, and it is not recommended to eat more shrimp slices. After all, shrimp slices are fried food, and eating too much is not good.
The main ingredient of shrimp slices is starch. It is mainly made of potato starch and cassava flour. When I learned the truth, my tears fell.
Shrimp slices, also known as jade slices, are traditionally made of shrimp juice and starch. Usually made of potato starch or whole powder. One is to replace 10-20% starch with whole potato powder. The production process is the same as the traditional method. After adding whole powder to shrimp slices, the nutritional value and swelling degree of shrimp slices are improved. Another method is to use fresh potatoes to make products similar to shrimp slices through a series of processing processes, which are called potato chips and shrimp slices.
After high-temperature frying, it immediately became an expanded block. But I think it's better to eat less, after all, it's too oily. This "plastic block" became a delicacy.

Be careful when eating beautiful shrimp slices.
As a cheap and delicious food, shrimp slices have been deeply loved by the public, especially some brightly colored shrimp slices are more popular with children. However, people in the industry have warned that some cheap shrimp slices are beautiful, but they may be harmful to health.
According to an insider, the shrimp slices on the market are mixed, some of them come from small processing points, and there is no shrimp ingredient in them at all, so the price is quite low. The wholesale price of a box of 7.5kg shrimp slices is in the early stage of 20 yuan, and it can be cheaper if the price is higher. Many restaurants give away all shrimp slices for free before meals, and a large plate will cost more than 65,438+0 cents.
There are some shrimp slices in the market that look white, bright and crystal clear. In fact, such shrimp slices are not necessarily good. Because the main components of shrimp slices are shrimp powder and corn starch, and the combination of shrimp powder and corn starch itself cannot be transparent, normal shrimp slices should be light yellow. White and transparent shrimp slices are often added with chemical alum or whitening agent. In addition, the cost of normal shrimp slices is generally about one kilogram in 4.4 yuan, but the cost of shrimp slices produced by some black workshops is very low, because they are made of ordinary starch and sweeteners. This kind of shrimp slices is not only nutritious, but also harmful to human body.
According to experts, good shrimp slices should be light yellow, with a balanced size and a thickness of about 2 mm. The collision sound between shrimp slices should be crisp, so that the shrimp slices are relatively dry, and the dull shrimp slices indicate that they contain a lot of water. "Honeycomb diamonds" will appear on the surface of fried shrimp slices. The smaller the "honeycomb diamond", the less it will stick to the teeth, indicating that the shrimp slices are of good quality.
