How to wash spicy crayfish?

The protein content in crayfish is quite high, accounting for about 20% of the total body. The fat content is very low, and the shrimp meat contains particularly high levels of iodine, zinc and other trace elements. In addition, crayfish can also be used as medicine to reduce phlegm and relieve cough, and promote muscle healing of wounds after surgery. Summer is here, and crayfish are on the market in large quantities. We want to taste the delicious food, but we are afraid that it is not clean and tasty if we eat it on the street, so many people like to cook it at home. Today, I will teach you how to clean crayfish.

Tools/Raw Materials

Small brush scissors

Steps/Methods

>01

First, clean the crayfish. There is a lot of black dirt on its body. Try to clean it with a brush. Don't try to save trouble.

>02

If the crayfish is too small, remove its hands, feet and claws with scissors.

>03

The next cut is very important. You have to remove the stomach in the head (very dirty), but you can't remove the yellow paste in the head. The yellow paste is a good thing, don't waste it.

>04

Don't cut the scissors all the way in. Cut halfway in and then pull out. In this way, the whole stomach will usually come out (the black sac-like object is the stomach). Practice makes perfect.

>05

The next step is to remove the crayfish's intestines. The method is very simple. Pinch the tail fin in the middle of the tail with your hand and twist it left and right until it breaks, then slowly pull it out. This way the shrimp's intestines will come out.

Okay, now that the cleaning is done, just wait for the pot~

Automatic cleaning method for crayfish:

After buying crayfish, don't rush to eat them. Put them in a basin, add a little salt, and then put in a level amount of clean water and soak them for 24 hours. After 24 hours, the crayfish will crawl in the basin and most of the dirt in its abdomen will be soaked away. At the same time, due to the effect of the light salt water, the crayfish will also spit out foreign objects in its body, killing two birds with one stone. Automatic cleaning of the inside and outside of crayfish is achieved effortlessly. Then rinse it in running water.

There are two methods for cleaning crayfish, manual cleaning and automatic cleaning. Many people think that it is difficult to clean crayfish automatically. In fact, it is not. Crayfish are alive and it is easy to clean them automatically. If you are afraid that the automatic cleaning is not clean enough, you can clean them manually after automatic cleaning. This way, the crayfish will be particularly clean.
