1. Are Arctic shrimp raw or cooked?

Friends who often eat Arctic shrimp know that after being caught from the deep sea, Arctic shrimp are cooked and quick-frozen directly on the fishing boat. This can not only retain the delicious taste of the Arctic shrimp, but also lock in the nutrition of the Arctic shrimp to the greatest extent. So the Arctic shrimps we bought are already cooked, and they can be eaten after they are thawed naturally and washed with clean water. Many people are worried that if Arctic shrimp are not cooked, they will taste cold?

It turns out that friends who insist on cooking have such concerns!

2. Why do you need to cook Arctic shrimp again before eating them?

There are 2 reasons:

1. I didn’t know that Arctic shrimps were cooked, so I boiled them before eating them.

2. I knew the Arctic shrimp were cooked, but I was afraid they would taste too cold, so I cooked them again.

3. Notes​

Arctic shrimps are delicious, and everyone who has eaten them knows it. However, there are still some friends who have never eaten Arctic shrimps before. The shrimps we usually eat are raw. Friends who eat Arctic shrimps for the first time don’t know that Arctic shrimps are already cooked, so they cook them again. Arctic shrimps have firm meat, a strong texture, and are chewy. The taste of the cooked Arctic shrimps is far worse than before cooking. As the saying goes: Good shrimps are not as good as badly cooked ones

Logically speaking, since you already know that Arctic shrimps are cooked, you won’t cook them before eating because you’re afraid they’ll get cold.

In addition to being wild, delicious and nutritious, Arctic shrimps are not wrapped in ice, while many shrimps sold on the market are wrapped in ice. After being thawed at home, ice water will still remain in the shrimps' bodies. Just imagine, if the shrimps are cooked, they will definitely taste very cold. However, Arctic shrimps are quickly frozen after being cooked, and there is no excess water. After natural thawing, the Arctic shrimps are just like freshly cooked Arctic shrimps, with a delicious and chewy taste and nothing else. The Arctic shrimp is already cooked and can be eaten after thawing and cleaning. It is not cold or fishy and is very delicious.
