Most of us keep fresh shrimp in the refrigerator incorrectly.
Everyone has some experience preserving shrimp. We are entirely mistaken if we believe that placing fresh shrimp directly into the refrigerator will keep them fresh.
Fresh shrimp also has an expiration date after a few days in the refrigerator before being eaten again. The good way for shrimp is that it cannot be stored immediately in the refrigerator.
First, we wash the fresh shrimp in clean water, remove the moisture, place them in an airtight container, and adjust the humidity to dry them (a dryer can be used to minimize moisture).
When putting the shrimp in the box, apply a coating of white sugar—just enough sugar for each layer.
Properly sprinkling will help retain the shrimp’s wetness while maintaining its umami flavor.
After sprinkling, shut the lid. Then place it in the refrigerator’s freezer to preserve; it’s quite easy to pull out and eat, and it can be eaten on the move while the flavor is still fresh and delicious.
When ready to eat, remove the shrimp from the freezer and let them defrost at room temperature; do not soak them in water! This method is straightforward and easy to utilize.
Of course, there is another way to preserve shrimp for a long time.
It is to cut off the shrimp head, remove the black thread from the shrimp, place it in a saucepan, and boil until almost cooked, then remove it to manage the humidity and dry it in the sun. After about three days, store it in the refrigerator and enjoy it as a snack.
