How to quickly remove the shrimp thread from fresh shrimp

Seafood is very common in coastal areas, and fresh shrimp is one of them.

1. Prepare a toothpick to pick out the shrimp thread. Use a toothpick to pierce the shrimp body at the third joint from the connection between the shrimp head and the shrimp body (the connection between the shrimp head and the shrimp body counts as one joint).

Hold the shrimp in one hand and a toothpick in the other hand and gently pick out the shrimp thread.

The result of picking is usually that the shrimp thread near the shrimp head will be picked out first.

Slowly pull the shrimp line with your hands, and the end of the shrimp line near the tail will be pulled out completely

There is a very sharp spine in the middle of the shrimp head. Be sure to cut it off, otherwise you may hurt your hands or mouth.

Use scissors to cut the connection between the shrimp head and the shrimp body

Open the water pipe and use a toothpick to pick and rinse the black tissue on the head. Some internal organs are concentrated here, and there are sandbags, which are also relatively dirty parts.

Compare with the unprocessed shrimps, cut off the long whiskers, shrimp bones, shrimp legs, pick out the shrimp thread, clean the head and internal organs

2. Prepare the tools - scissors, fresh shrimp

Then use scissors to slowly cut the shrimp head from bottom to top, being careful not to cut it off all at once.

Cut to two-thirds, almost to the shrimp line

Then use scissors to gently pull it outwards, and you can see the shrimp thread coming out.

The shrimp thread usually has a small section that breaks inside the shrimp.

At this time, remove the shrimp tail according to the above method.

The shrimp tail is more difficult to remove. When removing it, cut a small hole on the top and bottom and then pull it out.

This method is suitable for peeling shrimps. It is easy for beginners to master and the removal time is also very short.

3. 1. First cut off the shrimp spears and antennae. The shrimp spears are the sharp thorns on the head, which can easily prick your hands or mouth. It’s up to you whether to go and see it or not.

2. Cut off the shrimp claws. It’s up to you whether to keep them or not.

3. At the junction of the shrimp head and body, bend and squeeze it, and the shrimp brain will come out.

4. When removing the shrimp brain and shrimp thread, please do not apply sudden force as they may break easily. You will know how to use force after pulling it twice.

5. If you want a whole shrimp, it is done. If you want a split-back shrimp, we continue to cut it open.

6. Open the shrimp's back and we can see that there is also a shrimp line at the bottom of the shrimp.

7. Remove all of them!

8. The shrimps are clean and not prickly to the hands or mouth. Perfect!
