The restaurant chef never opened his mouth to say: How to make shrimp stored in the fridge is still fresh and odorless

1. How to preserve delicious shrimp

Prepare:

- Fresh shrimp

- Several bottles of mineral water

Making:

- Rinse shrimp, separately.

- Rinse the shell of mineral water bottles.

- Then put each shrimp into the bottle. Note, each bottle should only have enough shrimp for a meal. Then fill the bottles with water and close the lid.

Thus, to preserve fresh shrimp is the isolation of shrimp from the air, adding water to the bottle containing fresh shrimp can be effective. Shrimp preserved this way will also not smell.

2. How to choose fresh shrimp in general:

Shrimp body and shrimp head must be intact and firm

Unlike frozen shrimp, chemical pumps or spoilage due to long-standing, fresh shrimp have slightly curved body, firm flesh, however, shrimp are not big and unusually thick meat. In addition, you should also pay attention to choose shrimp with flexible, intact shell, head must stick tightly to the shrimp body, make sure the shrimp will always be fresh.

Check the width between the joints of shrimp

First of all, with a shrimp, to know how fresh it is, how sick it is and how healthy it is, it is better to look at the tail first. Check the tail of the shrimp to determine their freshness.

To check the freshness of shrimp (especially for large shrimp), you bring the shrimp to light and lengthen the shrimp and see the width between joints on the shell and shrimp meat. If this joint is wide, it shows that the shrimp is less fresh due to too long time or in the freezer for a long time, the narrower the shrimp joints, the fresher the meat of shrimp.

Shape of shrimp

With damaged shrimp, their bodies often bend into a circle, not a straight or slightly curved shape like live shrimp.

Avoid choosing to buy sticky shrimp

To check this, use your finger to press the cover and move your finger a few times from front to back, then vice versa, back to front. If you feel like you have grit under your fingers or you notice that shrimp are sticky and stick together, don't buy them.
