The shrimp, with its shell on, has been headed and deveined. Pan-fried until fragrant, then mixed with minced garlic, a little soy sauce, and a splash of water. Simmered for a minute, then topped with chopped green onions—perfect!
Baby Shark Family
All-natural Thai white shrimp. This bag contains approximately 46 shrimp. The shrimp are shelled, deveined, and have their backs opened. They haven't shrimp shrimp after thawing. The reason I chose this type of shrimp is because they are already deveined. For me, deveining is quite time-consuming and laborious. I personally prefer shrimp with their shells on because it retains the full texture of the shrimp. These shrimp have a springy texture, retain their original flavor, and are very fresh and delicious.

The shrimp, gutted and shelled, were springy, sweet, and delicious.
Cherry菲
This was my first purchase. The food was already thawing when it arrived. It was a good size, and I had to rinse it several times because there were a lot of bubbles, but there was no odor. It was already split open, so it would be easy to cook with the flavors. It was pretty good and tasted great.
