Before you prepare shrimp salads, you need to buy these shrimp. We want to share with you some tips on how to choose the right shrimp in the store.

What should I look for when choosing shrimp?

1. Do not be lazy to read the inscriptions on the package. It should indicate the name of the manufacturer with address and telephone numbers, and not just any LLC "Bereg".

2. Carefully look at the numbers next to the weight designation - they indicate an approximate amount of shrimp per kilogram of weight, for example, 100/150( ie in kilograms - 100-150 pieces).This is also called the "caliber", i.e.size of the shrimp.

Sometimes in stores indicate the wrong caliber to sell more expensive. We can not count them on site, of course, but see if they are all of the same size - quite. By the way, if the shrimp in the package - no heads, then usually the number is indicated not per kilogram, but per pound( 450 g).

3. Quality prawns have a smooth smooth color and a bent tail.

4. If we see that the shells have dried up, the meat has a yellowish color, on the shell and legs there are black specks - these are old shrimps.

5. Look at the tails: experts say that the unbent tail is evidence that the shrimp was killed before it froze.

6. If there are snowballs in the bag with shrimps - most likely they were thawed during the delivery and frozen again.

7. Shrimp with black heads are thrown out immediately - these are sick individuals. With green heads - do not get scared, they just ate a special kind of plankton and are quite edible and tasty. And rejoice, if we got shrimp with brown heads - these are pregnant individuals whose meat is very useful.

8. The best shrimps are frozen fresh, they contain the most useful and flavoring substances. They have a gray-brown color.
