The crayfish season is coming, and everyone is starting to make crayfish. Garlic crayfish is more suitable for children and the elderly.

How do you clean crayfish before cooking?

Step 1 | Use “saline alkali water”

No matter what flavor the crayfish plans to make, don’t rush to brush it with your hands. First, rinse off any visible dirt and weeds on the surface of the crayfish with clean water. Then, hold it in a high bowl, add just enough water to cover the crayfish, sprinkle 3-5 tablespoons of salt and an appropriate amount of baking soda, mix well, and let the crayfish rest in saline alkali water for 30 minutes. The use of salt and baking soda aids can easily remove the black dirt attached to the crayfish, so the entire plate of water raised is dirty.

Step 2 | Brushing crayfish

After resting for a period of time, the crayfish repeatedly rinsed to remove any visible mud and dirt. At this time, the black dirt on the head and abdomen of the crayfish, which had originally attached to it, became much cleaner and whiter. At this point, all you need to do is use a shoe brush or toothbrush to brush the crayfish’s abdomen up and down, and clean the remaining black and dirty matter by brushing.

Step 3 | Trim and remove shrimp lines

After brushing and cleaning the head, abdomen, claws and other parts of the crayfish, firmly grasp the crayfish, cut the claws flat, and then turn the crayfish upside down, pinch the middle of the tail, slightly raise it, twist and pull, and pull out the shrimp line.

Step 4 | Opening the Shrimp Head

After the crayfish is cleaned and trimmed, the final step is to open the head of the shrimp. Use scissors to cut the joint of the head and gently pull it out to remove any dirt from the head.

  • The crayfish are too dirty, I also cut off a part of the shrimp head to remove the shrimp brain and leave the shrimp yellow.
  • Get all the materials ready.
  • Peel the garlic, and use a cooking machine to grind the garlic into minced garlic, not too fine. Garlic is more fragrant.
  • Put the crayfish into the blanching water after the water boils, cover the lid and blanch for 2 minutes, remove and drain.

Notes

1. Crayfish must be bought fresh, dead shrimp cannot be eaten. 
2. Crayfish blanching is to make the shrimp meat firm and elastic, and it can also be fried. 
3. Generally, I remove the intestines and heads when dealing with shrimps, which is more hygienic.
