How to choose fresh and delicious shrimp
- When buying fresh shrimp, you should choose live shrimp with transparent shells, smelling of seawater, straight bodies, not bent into a circular shape.
- Avoid buying shrimp that are leaking, bent bodies, and feel gritty when pressed with your hand.
- Additionally, to choose good shrimp, you should observe the shrimp’s legs, head, and tail. Good shrimp will have tails folded together, and the legs and head are tightly attached, not falling off the shrimp’s body.
How to choose fresh and delicious tomatoes
- You should choose tomatoes with smooth, shiny skin, plump and juicy with a bright red color, and green stems.
- Avoid choosing fruits that are blackened or have small black spots, or those with uneven colors of both green and red.
- If you touch and feel them too soft or too hard, or if juice flows out, you should not buy them, as they may be spoiled.
Quick tips for removing shrimp veins
- You count backward from the shrimp tail to the second groove connecting the two shell segments, pierce a toothpick through this position and gently pull the black vein to remove it.
- You don’t need to use a knife to cut the shrimp back; you can also use a toothpick to pry the head of the shrimp out and see the black vein. Gently pull this black vein out with your hand, and the shrimp will be clean.
