What is prawn?

Macrobrachium rosenbergii, also known as white-footed shrimp, Malaysian prawn, golden coin shrimp, and Wan's prawn, is known as the king of freshwater shrimp. It is native to the coast of Ecuador and is one of the three most farmed shrimp species in the world. It has a thin shell and a fat body, tender meat, delicious taste, and rich nutrition. In addition to the flavor of ordinary freshwater shrimp, the head and chest carapace of mature Macrobrachium rosenbergii are full of reproductive glands, which have a special delicious taste similar to crab roe.

Nutritional value of prawns

The lobster is rich in nutritional value. According to scientific research, every 100 grams of lobster meat contains 20.6 grams of protein, 0.7 grams of fat, and a variety of vitamins and trace elements necessary for the human body. It is a high-protein, nutritious aquatic product.

How to remove the internal organs of prawns

1. Pinch the shrimp body (because the Macrobrachium rosenbergii is very strong and it is easy to be pricked by its whiskers or caught by its claws).

2. Use scissors to cut off one-third of the shrimp head (approximately the starting point of the raised vertical line in the middle of the head, including the eyes).

3. Remove the shell from the shrimp head.

4. When you see two black/green/brown things, keep the ones close to the shrimp body (shrimp paste, super delicious, the essence), and remove the ones near the front end (shrimp stomach and other internal organs, if they are torn, they come from black water).

a. The paste and internal organs are clearly separated and removed as usual.

b. When removing the shrimp heads and shells, the internal organs have been torn out and can be ignored.

c. If the paste is too large and covers the internal organs, peel off some of the paste and remove the covered internal organs.

5. Cut the back of the shrimp and remove the shrimp thread.

6. Cut short the whiskers that are too long and keep some of them to absorb the odor.
