When buying shrimp, should you choose straight shrimp or curved shrimp? The surprising truth that many people still don’t know.
When buying shrimp, it’s generally recommended to choose straight shrimp over curved shrimp. Here’s why:
Freshness
Straight shrimp are usually fresher. When shrimp are caught and stored, they tend to curl up naturally due to rigor mortis (muscle contraction after death). If the shrimp are still straight, it usually means they were freshly caught or properly frozen and stored.
Quality
Curved shrimp often indicate they have been stored for a longer period or mishandled, which can affect their texture and flavor. The curve can also be a result of the shrimp being frozen and thawed multiple times.
Appearance and Cooking
Straight shrimp are often more appealing visually, especially when served as part of a dish, and they tend to cook more evenly. Curved shrimp may not cook as uniformly.
