Fun fact: Shrimp have their hearts located fairly close behind their eyes in the head region of their bodies. The area she cut in the last method was roughly where the shrimp’s heart is located
The vein will snap somewhere when you pull it out from the head because it’s connected to the tail end. If you use the toothpick trick near the tail end, know where the snap happens. Using her method, it could snap anywhere from the head up to the tail.
I didn't know three of the four methods. Thank you for sharing very cool information. I love shrimp! I think you are one of the best Asian cooks on the internet.
My mom told me what it was when I was small, and my brothers made sure I knew it was shrimp crap so they’d be able to get more shrimp, having totally grossed me out as a small child😂
There is also a digestive tract along the belly of white shrimp. It is significant and I always end up having to remove it because most ppl only think of the one on the back.
Mandy, there’s no way I’m going to use that fourth method!! I don’t even eat shrimp. I just cook it for my family, but I use a knife and open the back and pull it out under running water.
Oh my gosh. I thought this would be different ways to cut the shrimp's back. Instead, i learned that the gut comes out like a string. Disemboweling, I mean. Useful as heck though
I like all of them. I get grossed out when I order shrimp in a restaurant, especially breaded shrimp and the vein (poop shoot) is left inside the shrimp!
I use the second method, mostly because it's the first version I ever saw. I never really understood why it was necessary until I ate a shrimp that hadn't been de-veined (and annoyingly it was at a fancy restaurant). The taste was definitely not pleasant!
903 I think you're in China cooking I don't think you're in America if you're in America I would hope that you would FedEx me some pork lo mein or some combination lo mein and with dry ice to Pueblo Colorado Ron Ron about two or three pounds or do you cook so excellent make sure there's lots of meat in it and noodles lots of noodles please a couple of egg rolls by 6:00 egg rolls would be great thank I bought your blue wok about 3 or 4 years ago anyway I love you I love you amen God❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You're missing the 5th method. Stick toothpick into tail end and vein comes out. I've seen it done from top restaurants to food stalls. Hard to explain. Sorry.
@@tropicalsnow the shell has calcium and you won't waste any bit of the shrimp/prawn not dangerous either since its cooked and your body won't absorb anything it can't use either
