The skin, skin, and flesh of shrimps are rich, tender and delicious, which are very popular with diners. When is the meat quality of the skin shrimp the most delicious? When is the best time to eat? How to choose the fat skin shrimp? Let's get to know with Xiaobian.
Skin shrimp is the fattest in several months
Prawns lay their eggs only in spring every year. April and may are the fattest seasons of the year. That is to say, during the Qingming and May 1st periods every year. During this period, the skin shrimp not only has thick and juicy meat, but also has rich shrimp paste, with the best nutritional value and taste. Especially the female shrimp has a lot of seeds. Before June, I picked the shrimp with the skin of mother skin. It has many seeds and tastes delicious. Only female skin shrimp has shrimp paste.
Distinguish between male shrimp and female shrimp: look at the neck of the shrimp. There will be a striking word "Wang" on the neck of the female shrimp, while there are only a few stripes on the male shrimp.
When can't I eat the shrimps
Generally speaking, June is the dividing line every year. In June, the production of prawns is over, and then the fishing season is closed. It's hard to eat fat prawns.
However, until September, when shrimp grow up, they can eat skin shrimp again. Of course, the skin shrimp at this time is very small, not as fat as April and may.
How to choose fresh and fat skin shrimp
1. It doesn't need to be a big one. In fact, it's empty inside. The big one is not necessarily good. No matter whether it's a male or a female, you can "pinch the tail" if you choose more meat and fat. The tail is full of porcelain, and the tail with empty hair is less meat.
2. Generally speaking, June is the dividing line every year. Before June, the shrimp with skin of female skin is selected. There are many seeds in the shrimp and it tastes delicious. After June, the seeds of the shrimp with skin of male skin are less, but the meat of the shrimp with skin of male skin is fuller. Therefore, the shrimp with skin of male skin is eaten after June.
How to pick out the thick mother skin shrimp with many seeds at a glance: look at the tip of the tail, the color and fullness of the tail, the color of the thick mother skin shrimp with many seeds is full of orange, and the color of the dark tail shrimp with few seeds is empty.
3. Look at the color of the shrimp. At a glance, if the color of shrimp is bright and green, it is fresh skin shrimp. If the color is black and not bright enough, it is not fresh shrimp.
4. Look at the shrimp head. If the shrimp head is very weak and looks like it can't fall off, then don't buy it. It's definitely not fresh.
5. If it's a high-quality fresh skin shrimp, the meat is very strong.
How to eat shrimps with skin
There are many prickly shrimps with skin and skin. You may get them by accident. You can't eat the whole meat. It's recommended to eat shrimps with chopsticks
First, twist off the irregular shape thorns on the left and right sides of the shrimp tail, and then insert a chopstick from the tail. Pay attention to stick this side of the belly as much as possible when inserting, and then hold the big shell on the tail and pull the whole shell upward to fall off.
This method is suitable for the skin shrimp with full meat and can eat the whole shrimp meat.
