Crayfish line

In our lives, crayfish is a very common snack. Crayfish tastes very good, and eating crayfish regularly contains calcium, which is also good for our body. However, when eating crayfish, you must pay attention to the fact that there are shrimp threads in the lobster. The shrimp threads taste very fishy and unhygienic. So how do you extract the shrimp threads from crayfish?

1. How to remove the shrimp thread from crayfish?

1. Toothpick method

It can be said that the best way to remove shrimp threads is to use dental floss. Experts especially remind people who are not particular about diet that they must remove the shrimp threads before eating shrimp. Otherwise, it will not only be easy to have symptoms such as diarrhea, but in severe cases, food poisoning may also occur. In fact, the method of using a toothpick to remove shrimp thread is very simple. You just need to use the toothpick to pass between the first to last section and the second to last section of the shrimp body, and then pick the shrimp thread upwards to cut it.

It is not over yet, because the shrimp thread has not been completely removed at this time. Therefore, after using a toothpick to cut the shrimp thread, you should pinch the broken thread end and then completely pull out the shrimp thread. This way you can eat it with confidence.

2. Skinning alive

Many people like to cook the shrimps first and then start deveining them, but this method is the most inconvenient. Generally speaking, the best way to quickly remove shrimp threads is to peel them alive. It sounds a bit bloody, but it is not actually the case. The so-called live skinning means pinching the neck of the living shrimp, and then pulling out the head and shrimp thread together. This will completely remove the shrimp thread on the back of the shrimp in the shortest time possible. It can be said that it is easiest to remove the shrimp thread when the shrimp is raw.

This method does not require cutting on the back of the shrimp. Instead, put the headless shrimp in boiling water for 1 to 2 minutes until the shell turns red. The purpose at this time is not to cook it, but to make its shell hard so that it is easy to remove the shrimp shell.

3. Shrimp head thorns

There are many ways to remove shrimp threads in life, and there is another method that is also very simple and effective. Usually there is a protruding thorn in the middle of the shrimp head. At this time, you only need to use scissors to cut a hole at the position of the thorn, and then use the flat surface of the scissors to pick out the entire brain, and at this time the entire shrimp thread will be pulled out. This method not only makes it easy to remove the shrimp thread, but also keeps the whole shrimp intact. Therefore, some people who demand perfection may wish to try this method.

However, you must be especially careful when using this method and avoid breaking the brain when picking with scissors, otherwise the shrimp thread will not come out. Therefore, after cutting the hole with scissors, you must use the flat surface of the scissors to pick it.

4. Shrimp tails

Usually a lobster's tail has three parts, and we can also use its tail to remove the shrimp thread. The method is very simple. You just need to pull out the middle piece, and the whole shrimp thread can be pulled out at the same time. Alternatively, you can use one hand to bend the shrimp's back into an arc shape, and then use the other hand to use a toothpick to penetrate the third or fourth section of the shrimp's tail, pierce the meat, and then pick out the shrimp thread.

In addition to knowing how to remove shrimp threads, you should also pay special attention to the precautions when eating shrimp. Experts remind that whether you are eating shrimp or other seafood, you cannot consume a large amount of various vitamin-rich foods at the same time. Otherwise, it is easy to have symptoms such as arsenic poisoning, which seriously affects human health and life safety.
