How to make small shrimp

Small Shrimp Shrimp Roe"Shrimp Roe" is also called "small shrimp" because the meat of these small shrimp is very little, and after being dried, it mostly feels like there is only a thin layer of skin. Although "small shrimp" is small, it has a high nutritional value. People in different areas often use it to cook soup or as a side dish after frying.

Selection and Cleaning of Small Shrimp

Selection of Shrimp Roe

1. Color: Bright, shiny, yellow or light red colored shrimp are of good quality. These shrimp are usually made by drying them in the sun, and they are typically light in color. Dark and not shiny: These are dried in rainy weather, and they are usually salty. In a batch, the color should be mostly consistent. If there are two or more colors, the quality is usually not good, and there are cases where bad ones are mixed with good ones, which is considered counterfeit and inferior.

2. Shape: If the shrimp is curved, it means it is made from live shrimp. If the shrimp is straight or only slightly curved, it means it is made from dead shrimp. The best quality is the one with clean, tender meat, no skin attached, no internal claws, and no empty shells.

3. Impurities:The best quality is when the shrimp is evenly sized, without impurities or other fish shrimp.

4. Taste: If you put a shrimp in your mouth and feel that it is fresh and slightly sweet, it is of good quality. If the shrimp is salty, it means the quality is not good. Some people use salty to cover up other unusual tastes.

Cleaning of Shrimp Roe

Generally, if you buy high-quality, well-colored, and impurity-free shrimp, you don't need to clean them or just rinse them lightly. If you need to clean them, you can soak them in water for 2 hours, changing the water once or twice.
