How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh shrimp
- Shrimp shell: Choose shrimp with a transparent shell that has the characteristic smell of seafood, not rotten, and without dark spots or inconsistent colors. The shrimp shell should be dry, not slimy.
- Shrimp shape: Fresh shrimp will have a straight body, while shrimp that have been stored for a long time will curl up. The body of the shrimp should be firm, not soft and mushy.
- Shrimp head, tail, legs: Fresh shrimp will have the head, legs, and tail firmly attached to the body, with the tail folded together. If the tail of the shrimp spreads out, it may have been injected with impurities. Do not choose shrimp with heads, legs, and tails that have turned black, as this indicates old and non-fresh shrimp.

How to choose fresh and delicious carrots
- Choose medium-sized roots, straight and tapered towards the tail, with a smooth skin, firm to the touch, and slightly hard.
- Choose carrots that are bright, dark orange, with fresh green leaves firmly attached to the root.
- Avoid selecting overly large roots, as the leaves, stems at the base, and the shoulders of the roots are thick.

How to choose fresh peas
- For the best nutritional source, you should choose fresh peas instead of dried or frozen ones.
- Choose peas with a shiny skin, and when you snap the stem, they should always be crispy.
- Avoid selecting peas with a rough skin as those pods may have poor-tasting or shriveled seeds.
How to choose delicious oats
- You should choose whole oats, which are usually coarse grains that are not broken.
- You should buy oats from reputable establishments and brands with reliable origins.
How to make Shrimp and Vegetable Oatmeal

Prepare the shrimp
Remove the shrimp head, peel off the shell, then use a small knife to make a slit along the back to remove the shrimp vein. Gently squeeze the shrimp body with your hand to help the vein come out a bit, then pull it out with your fingers, and finally chop the shrimp into small pieces.
Tip for quickly removing the black vein on the shrimp’s back:
- Count backwards from the shrimp’s tail to the second groove connecting the two segments of the shrimp shell, poke a toothpick through this spot, and gently pull the black vein to remove it.
- You can also use a toothpick to pry out the head of the shrimp without cutting its back; you will see the black vein. Gently pull this black vein out, and the shrimp will be clean.

Prepare the other ingredients
Wash the carrot and cut it into small cubes. Wash the whole pea pods and then chop them into small pieces.
