How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose good spinach
- Choose spinach leaves that are still fresh and green; when pressed with your hand, they should feel crunchy and have a slimy texture coming from the leaves.
- Choose leaves of moderate size, not too large or too small.
- Avoid spinach that is wilted, bruised, or has torn leaves.
How to choose fresh, safe shrimp
- Choose live shrimp that are still colorful, with curled tails and naturally curved backs, not straight.
- Avoid shrimp that feel mushy when picked up, are pale white, and where the head is separated from the body, as they may be spoiled.
- Shrimp soaked in chemicals will have tails spread out like a fan, swollen bellies and backs, pale and inconsistent colors, with water leaking from the segments.
