Its volume is very small and its skin is thin. When it is made into dry products, it looks like a layer of skin to the naked eye, so the dried products of hairy shrimp are called "shrimp skin"
shrimp skin is rich in nutrition. It is rich in protein and some minerals. I remember eating it when I was a child. My grandfather bought it when he went to the market, and my grandmother fried it for us to eat. Therefore, the shrimp skin I have eaten most is fried. In fact, it can also be used for stuffing, cold mix and soup. Usually when we eat wonton, will there be some shrimp on the soup, which is actually shrimp skin, No matter what kind of cooking method is used, it is a very delicious ingredient
I didn't understand it when I was a child. When I grow up, I know that shrimp skin can be divided into white and yellow. You will find out when you buy it, but most people don't know whether they are different. When you buy it, you pick it casually. You can buy it directly when you see which one. In fact, there are some tricks to buy shrimp skin. The difference between them is quite big. If you buy it wrong, it's not only nutritious, but also not fresh and delicious It tastes bad
1. The difference between white shrimp and yellow shrimp
most of the Yellow shrimps are made from Donghai shrimps. They contain more astaxanthin, so the color is yellow, but not white shrimps. They are made from Bohai shrimps with little astaxanthin, so the color is white and transparent.
2. How to choose?
when selecting shrimp skin, you should know that generally normal shrimp skin is it looks transparent, and the light yellow one is the best. , no matter it is too yellow or too white. When selecting the too yellow shrimp skin, holding it in your hand will smell strange, because it has been stored for too long and began to deteriorate. However, those too white shrimp skin feel moist when holding it in your hand, which is likely to be soaked by formaldehyde , never buy
when we buy shrimps, we should not be greedy for small bargains. We should pay for the goods at every price. Those too cheap shrimps are either not fresh, or their salt content is too high, so they should not be purchased. Those shrimps with better quality will soon disperse after they are loosened by hand, but those that are loosened by hand and are not easy to disperse should not be purchased. If the quality is not good, it is a waste to eat.
although shrimp skin is rich in nutrition, we must be careful when buying it. Buying it wrong not only costs money, but also affects our mood.
