How to Know if Shrimp are Fresh?

Shrimp are small seafood, but they are also extremely tasty and healthy. In color, shrimp can be pink, gray, brown or yellow. How we can tell if shrimp are fresh, when we decide to buy them, we'll find out right now.

- In order to figure out if a shrimp are fresh, you need to feel it. Its body should be firm and free of any black spots on the shell. If the shrimp are very fresh, ie. they are caught shortly before you buy them, they last no more than a day or two;

- If you have decided to buy shrimp for cooking, but to not cook them immediately, it is better to get frozen shrimp, because their shelf life is longer;

- The aroma of the shrimp is also one of the signs whether the shrimp are fresh or not. If a shrimp is freshly caught, it must have a pleasant aroma of salt water;

- Once you have chosen your shrimp, you can prepare something delicious such as spaghetti with shrimp, grilled shrimp, breaded shrimp and many other delicious dishes.
