Are you still eating Shopee? Thanks to an old fisherman, remind your family early and remember it for a long time.
For those who like to eat seafood, shrimp skin is undoubtedly a delicious and nutritious ingredient. Whether it is making soup or stir-frying, sprinkling some shrimp skin can enhance the taste and umami of the dish. Don't look at the small piece of shrimp, it is very rich in nutrients. But if you want to enjoy the best taste, you need to learn to choose high-quality shrimp skin. Here are a few tips for picking Shopee that will allow you to buy better Shopee and make it more enjoyable for you and your family. How to choose high-quality, delicious shrimp skin? A fisherman friend taught me a few tricks, let me share them with you!
First of all, we need to understand the types of Shopee. At present, there are two main types of shrimp skin on the market: raw shrimp skin and cooked shrimp skin. Raw shrimp skin is made by drying the shrimp directly after they are caught, and the color is slightly whitish or reddish, while the cooked shrimp skin is fried first and then dried or air-dried, and the color is slightly yellow. Although the portion of cooked shrimp skin is heavier, the taste of raw shrimp skin is more authentic and delicious. When choosing, we can identify the quality of Shopee by observing, smelling, tasting, touching and other ways.
First, we need to smell the shrimp skin. Fresh shrimp skin should have a fresh seafood flavor without any peculiar smell. If you smell too fishy or have other peculiar smells, it is likely that they are dried with stale shrimp, or the merchant has added chemical ingredients to keep them fresh, so it is best not to buy such shrimp skin.
The second point is to taste the taste. We can taste the taste of the shrimp skin. Freshly dried shrimp skin has a pure taste and no miscellaneous taste. If the taste is not good or there is a peculiar smell, it means that the quality of the shrimp skin is not high. Whether it is raw shrimp skin or cooked shrimp skin, as long as it is dried with fresh hairy shrimp, the taste will be very delicious.
The third point is to look at the color and shape. We need to look at the color and shape of the Shopee. A good shrimp skin should be transparent or yellowish, with an intact head and tail, and a hooked tail. If the color of the shrimp skin is black, or the head and tail are separated, and the shape is incomplete, it is likely to be of poor quality, and it is not recommended to buy it.
Fourth, touch the feel. Real fresh sun-dried shrimp skin is drier to the touch and doesn't feel moist or sticky. If the shrimp skin is moist, sticky or soft to the touch, it is likely to have been blistered, and the shrimp skin is easy to spoil and deteriorate, and the texture and taste will be greatly reduced.
Fifth, test the looseness. We can hold the shrimp skin with our hands and let it loose to observe how far it spreads out and how dry it is. A good shrimp skin should be loose and moderately dry, while a bad quality shrimp skin is easy to get sticky, if it is loosened with a lot of crumbs, easy to spread out or sticky, it means that the quality is not good.
Sixth, look at the ingredient list. When buying sun-dried shrimp, pay attention to check the ingredient list. It is best to choose shrimp skin without added salt, preservatives, and other additives. A good quality sun-dried shrimp skin should only have shrimp skin in the ingredient list, without any additives or preservatives. Shopee skin with too many additives or preservatives should not be purchased. Some shrimp skins may have other spices and preservatives added, and even contain some preservatives with unknown ingredients, which is very bad for the elderly and children to eat. It is recommended to buy shrimp skin with regular packaging, regular manufacturer, and shelf life, and try to avoid going to the farmers' market to buy bulk shrimp skin.
Seventh, you should also pay attention to the price when buying. Don't buy low-quality Shopee for cheapness, or choose poor-quality Shopee. Don't blindly go for a high price either. Choose a moderately priced shrimp skin, which is usually of better quality and has a better taste and freshness. This ensures quality without being too expensive.
Eighth, before eating shrimp skin, you can simply rinse it with warm water to wash off the dust and impurities on the surface, but be careful not to soak or blanch it with hot water for a long time to avoid losing nutrients. After rinsing, the shrimp skin can be drained and can be used for cooking or direct eating. Through the use of these tips, I believe you will be able to choose high-quality shrimp skin to make your dishes more delicious and delicious.
