How to open the back of prawns

Shrimp is a kind of seafood that we are very familiar with. There are many kinds of shrimps on the market all year round. Shrimp is delicious and nutritious. There are many ways to make shrimp, and the shrimp made by each method has different tastes and characteristics. The practice of minced garlic and shrimp is very popular recently. This dish uses shrimp as the main ingredient and a lot of garlic. After cooking, the nutritional components of shrimp are completely retained, and the method is simple and delicious. The cooked food also looks beautiful. Now let's talk about the making method of garlic shrimp.

First, the method of opening the shrimp back

Before preparing to open the shrimp back, rinse the shrimp with running water and drain the water. Then prepare a pair of sharp scissors and you can start work.

1. First cut off the shrimp tail with scissors, then cut off 2/3 at the joint between the shrimp head and the shrimp body, leaving 1/3 to connect the shrimp head and the shrimp body.

2. Cut from the tail of the shrimp along the ridge line of the shrimp back until it stops at the incision of the shrimp head. In this step, we should not only cut the shrimp shell, but also cut the shrimp meat with a thickness of about 2/3, leaving 1/3, so that the shrimp meat will not spread.

3. Spread the cut shrimp left and right, and take out the sausage by hand or toothpick.

4. Cut the shrimp horizontally with scissors for a few times, and cut off the shrimp tendons in the abdomen, so that the shrimp body will not bend when heated. You can also put the shrimp flat on the chopping board and gently flatten the shrimp body, which can also break the shrimp tendons.

At this point, even if the work of opening the shrimp back is finished, you can simply wash the shrimp with water, drain the water and then use it for cooking.

Second, the nutritional value of shrimp:

1. Shrimp is rich in minerals.

The content of calcium, phosphorus, iron, iodine and other minerals in sea shrimp is higher than that in river shrimp, and the pollution is less. Although there are many kinds of sea shrimp, such as prawn. But the bigger the shrimp, the better. Because wild prawns may take several years to grow to the size that can be sold in the market, which will increase the chance of pollution. Although the cultured shrimp grows fast, its nutrition and taste will be greatly reduced.

2. Lobster

Among the sea shrimps, several kinds of lobsters are the most valuable. In fact, in terms of nutrition, lobsters are not much different from other shrimps; Only lobsters produced in Australia are less polluted.

3. Shrimp with skin eats the most calcium.

The shell of river shrimp is thin and soft, so eating calcium with skin is very effective. Although the river shrimp is small, its protein content is not worse than that of sea shrimp, and its calcium content is higher. Because the part with the highest calcium content is shrimp skin, small river shrimp with skin is a good product for calcium supplementation. Here, I recommend a delicious and nutritious "river shrimp stir-fry": wash the shrimp and stir-fry it in an oil pan until it becomes hot and discolored. Add onion, ginger and minced garlic, stir-fry until fragrant, cook the cooking wine, add garlic sprouts and add salt, pepper, monosodium glutamate and sesame oil.
