Shrimp and crab porridge should not be left overnight. The general recommendation from the scientific community is that leftovers should be stored at room temperature for no more than 4 hours, and no more than 2 hours when the temperature is high. Pack leftovers into boxes and put them in the refrigerator while they are still hot. Although it consumes a little more electricity, it is safer.

This is because bacteria multiply fastest at 20℃~30℃, so the temperature must be lowered to refrigeration conditions as soon as possible. Also, leftovers need to be thoroughly reheated before eating and not stored in the refrigerator for too long.

But you should also pay attention to the storage time when eating seafood. Compared with overnight meals, crayfish has a higher protein content, and bacteria can breed faster. One generation can breed in just a few minutes. In addition to bacterial growth, there is another risk.

Crabs, fish and shrimp and other aquatic products have been left out for a long time. Over time, protein degradation products that are not good for the liver and kidneys will be produced, so it is best to eat as much seafood as possible, especially when the weather is hot, and be careful when eating food that has been eaten overnight.
