Frozen shrimp in the refrigerator is a convenient food, which can keep its freshness and flavor. However, before processing and cooking, we need to take the shrimp out of the refrigerator and dispose of it properly. Here are the steps to deal with shrimp frozen in the refrigerator:

1. Take the frozen shrimp out of the refrigerator and thaw it.

First of all, you need to take the frozen shrimp out of the refrigerator and thaw it: you can thaw it slowly in the refrigerator or soak it in changing cold water for about 10- 15 minutes to speed up the thawing. We should avoid thawing shrimp at room temperature to prevent bacterial growth.

2. Remove the shrimp skin and shrimp line.

Once the shrimps are completely thawed, we should remove the skin and line of shrimps. Tear off the shrimp skin with a knife or finger, then gently twist the shrimp head and take it off together with the shrimp line. Removing shrimp skin and shrimp line can make the taste of shrimp more delicate.

Wash shrimp

After removing the shrimp skin and shrimp line, we need to wash the shrimp to remove any dirt or seawater odor. Put the shrimp on a plate or bowl and rinse it with clear water several times until the water becomes clear. If necessary, we can also add some sea salt or white vinegar to eliminate more odor.

dried shrimp

After washing, we need to gently dry the shrimp with paper towels or clean towels. Then, we should put the shrimps in a dry plate or bowl, let them dry naturally and remove excess water.

Before processing and cooking frozen shrimp in the refrigerator, we should ensure that the shrimp is completely thawed and processed to maximize its flavor and taste. When handling shrimp, we should follow the food hygiene and safety regulations and choose the appropriate processing and cooking methods according to personal tastes and preferences.
