How to eat crayfish heads

Crayfish is a food that is deeply loved by people in daily life. It is not only delicious but also has high nutritional value. It is a good choice whether it is a family gathering or entertaining friends. However, many people do not know how to eat the crayfish head. In fact, the way to eat it is very particular, but it is simple and easy to learn. You just need to prepare the necessary tools and then follow the given steps step by step.

The media says not to eat it because there are parasites in the head. The most common one is blood sucking worms. If you eat it, your stomach will be very big. It's scary. I advise you not to eat it, especially the roadside stalls. The hygiene is not guaranteed.

1. Place the lobster in clean water for at least one to two days to allow the shrimp to spit out all the mud in its body. Use a discarded toothbrush to clean the lobster, especially the area where the head and body meet, which is very dirty. If necessary, you can consider removing the lobster's head and making a cut on the back of the lobster's tail to pull out the black line.

2. Heat the oil in a pan and fry the shrimps. Do not add salt at this time. When the surface of the shrimps turns red, quickly remove them and set aside.

3. Put some vegetable oil in the pot, add garlic and ginger into the oil pan and fry over medium heat until fragrant, then add shrimp, star anise and cinnamon into the pot, add some water and cook over high heat.

4. After the water boils for 3 minutes, pour in the prepared red pepper, refined salt, soy sauce, vinegar and other seasonings and simmer for a while;

5. Turn to medium heat, add appropriate amount of cooking wine, add water to half of the main ingredients, cover the pot, simmer on medium heat for ten minutes. When the water boils into a thick juice, remove from the heat, add chopped green onions and serve in a bowl.

The 6- crawfish with hard shells, thick meat and plump body is a popular snack at food stalls in summer. A few bottles of beer, a plate of bright crawfish and a lot of chatting under the neon lights. Crayfish eat a variety of foods, so it is difficult to clean them. Some people use shrimp cleaning powder. "If you want to clean it thoroughly, you should cut off the whiskers and feet, use a brush to clean the dirt under the shrimp's belly, and pull out the shell in the middle of the tail together with the intestines. Use scissors to reach into both sides of the shrimp head to scrape off the lungs, and cut off most of the shrimp head." In fact, this time-consuming and troublesome process is not something every merchant can do. In addition, many people believe that whole crayfish are fresh, so the processed crayfish are mostly whole with their shells and claws intact. This approach may seem aesthetically pleasing and avoids the suspicion of being stale, but it is actually not hygienic at all. "The brighter and more complete an item appears, the less safe it may be." The crayfish's head serves as a filter, so many bacteria and parasites accumulate in its gills. Don't expect that frying crayfish will kill all parasites and bacteria. Crayfish are aquatic crustaceans and carriers of many parasites. If you eat crayfish raw or half-cooked, you may get infectious diseases.
