What is the best skin shrimp? Of course, the fatter the better. Buy skin shrimp, buy male fat or mother? Many people can’t tell, and the seaside people teach you the right way.
Skin shrimp are divided into male and female, many people think that only the mother skin shrimp is fat, and the seeds are the most delicious, in fact, the mother skin shrimp in September is no litter, male skin shrimp and mother skin shrimp as long as they are fresh are very fat, everyone in the buy as long as you say these three words to the boss “buy live” skin shrimp. The boss will not lie to you and obediently pick it for you. So in what month does the mother skin shrimp have seeds? Spring is the season of spawning of skin shrimp, and it is also the fattest season, so spring, although the male and female are the same fat, but the female skin shrimp has seeds and tastes more fragrant, so spring is most suitable for eating female skin shrimp.
So how is the difference between male skin shrimp and female skin shrimp? Many people are stupid and can’t tell the difference, so I’ll share with you how to distinguish between male and female. Spring skin shrimp is very easy to identify, because the 6 legs of the mother skin shrimp have a very clear horizontal 3 bars, vertical bar, is a “king” character, the yellow color of the shrimp tail is very obvious, is the mother skin shrimp very recognizable? On the contrary, the one without the word king is the male skin shrimp. But this method can only be used in March ~ April.
September skin shrimp is difficult to identify, many people buy skin shrimp, see all the same, there are no obvious characteristics, in fact, knowledgeable people see that the skin shrimp has a few legs, the male skin shrimp is 8 legs, the female skin shrimp is 6 legs. But many sloppy people look at it as 6 legs, and they don’t know how to give him a male skin shrimp, because the male skin shrimp in addition to the 6 legs that look like the mother skin shrimp, there are 2 thin calves in front of the legs next to the third row, and it is difficult for sloppy people to see. In addition to looking at the legs, we can also see that the belly of the female skin shrimp is wider than that of the male skin shrimp. As long as you remember these characteristics of spring and autumn, you will not worry when buying male and female skin shrimp. Buy skin shrimp, buy male fat or mother? Many people can’t tell, seaside people teach you the right way, have you learned?
So when steaming skin shrimp, should it be boiled or cold steamed? When buying seafood, it is best to buy the owner of an acquaintance, so that the boss will teach you to do it, although I am a beautiful coastal city of Yantai Longkou, but we are not fishermen after all, a lot of knowledge is learned from the owner who sells seafood or the fish people on the seaside. The owner of the seafood seller taught me to open the water steamer, and the skin shrimp bought back were best to add some salt to kill and sterilize when cleaning, stir it with chopsticks to prevent hurting hands, wash once and take out the steamer, cover the lid and steam for 10 minutes on high heat to cook. When steaming, add some green onions, ginger slices, and peppercorn skin to remove fishy. No matter what seafood you make, don’t forget to add ginger to remove cold, seafood is a cold food.
Because the skin of the skin shrimp is too hard, the steamed skin shrimp is very handy, so many people like to eat meat, do not like to peel the shrimp shell, in fact, peeling is very simple, as long as you use scissors to cut from the two edges of the skin shrimp, the tail is also cut, gently peel, the skin is easily taken off, just like the zipper on the clothes, at least 10 peels in 1 minute. After eating seafood for many years, I learned that the skin shrimp comes with a zipper, gently pull, and peel 10 pieces in minutes. This method is very practical, you can try it. Look at the skin shrimp we steamed today, is it tender and fat?
