Do you know how to preserve dried shrimps? For seafood like dried shrimps, if the storage method is not appropriate, it will go bad soon. So what is the best way to preserve it and maintain its taste? Everyone knows that dried shrimps are delicious and affordable, so they are favored by many people. However, if dried shrimps are stored for too long, a large amount of nitrite will be produced, which will cause great harm to the body.

Shrimp is a famous seafood product with high nutritional value and contains several to dozens of times more protein than fish, eggs and milk. How do we preserve dried shrimps in daily life? Today, I will teach you how to preserve dried shrimps. The details are as follows:

1. Light-quality dried shrimps can be spread out in the sun, and after they are dry, they can be put into bottles and stored.

2. Salted dried shrimps should never be dried in the sun. They can only be spread out in a cool place to air dry before being bottled.

3. Whether you are storing light or salty dried shrimps, you can put an appropriate amount of garlic in the bottle to prevent them from being infested by insects.

Shrimp skin can be preserved for a long time. The main antibacterial factors are its low water content and high salt content. Both are indispensable. However, the dried shrimps people usually buy are generally not completely dry. There are two main reasons for this. On the one hand, it may be because the air at the seaside is humid. On the other hand, it may be because the dried shrimps that are not dry are heavier and have greater profits. This kind of shrimp skin that has not been completely dried is particularly prone to breeding bacteria because of its high protein content.

It is recommended that you store the dried shrimps in the refrigerator immediately after purchasing them, take out the required amount when you need them, and then put them back in the refrigerator. This can greatly slow down the decomposition of protein and maintain normal taste within two to three months, thus reducing the risk of producing carcinogens.

In fact, the daily consumption of dried shrimps in daily life is only two or three grams, which is not the main way to supplement calcium. If you eat too much, it will not only fail to replenish the body's calcium, but will also bring the risk of cancer and the problem of excessive salt in the body. So no matter how much you like it, don't eat too much.

Although dried shrimps are delicious, they should be used in moderation. It is not a preservation method that can preserve them for a long time!
