When retailing white shrimps in vegetable markets and supermarkets, frozen shrimps can't be thawed outdoors, and the shrimps stick together, so consumers can't get what they need according to their needs. And the frozen shrimp can be scattered, which is convenient for consumers to buy. Driven by market demand, the frozen salted shrimp market has developed rapidly.

Precautions for sea shrimp

Shrimp is rich in histamine acid, which is the main ingredient that makes it delicious. But once the shrimp dies, histamine acid is decomposed into histamine substances harmful to human body by bacteria.

In addition, the intestines and stomach of sea shrimp often contain pathogenic bacteria and toxic substances, which are easy to rot and deteriorate after death. Especially with the extension of the death time of shrimp, some toxins will gradually accumulate in shrimp. If we eat any dead sea shrimp, it will cause serious poisoning, so don't eat dead sea shrimp for our health.
