The effects and functions of ice shrimp and the nutritional value of ice shrimp

Nutritional value of frozen shrimp

Fresh frozen shrimp is extremely nutritious, rich in minerals such as protein, potassium, iodine, magnesium, phosphorus, vitamin A, aminophylline, astaxanthin, etc. It is an excellent food for people who are weak or need to recuperate after illness. It can also reduce the cholesterol content in the blood, prevent arteriosclerosis, and dilate the coronary artery, which is beneficial for preventing hypertension and myocardial infarction. However, the taste is not as good as fresh shrimp.

Generally, seafood products carry cold-resistant bacteria. When fresh shrimps are placed in the refrigerator for freezing and preservation, these cold-resistant bacteria will continue to multiply, which will reduce the safety of eating shrimp meat. For example, the most important bacteria in seafood, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, is a marine bacterium commonly found in seafood such as fish, shrimp, crab, and shellfish. It has a weak resistance to high temperatures and can be completely killed by temperatures above 80°C for 4-5 minutes. Chilled shrimps must be cooked at high temperatures for a relatively long time before they can be eaten. In addition, the protein contained in seafood is different from that in other meats, and its decomposition rate is relatively fast. After freezing, fresh shrimps will cause some changes in the properties of the protein, produce amines, and make the shrimp meat lose its elasticity and the taste is greatly reduced.

The healthiest way to eat chilled shrimps is to boil them in salt water. After thawing, boil them in boiling salt water over low heat for four or five minutes before eating. Alternatively, you can braise or fry them in oil, which are both top-notch delicacies on the table.

It should be noted that frozen shrimp should be cooked promptly after thawing and should not be left in the air for too long, otherwise the protein in the shrimp meat will easily undergo oxidation reaction in the air and turn black.
