Type 1: Shrimp with missing heads and tails

If you notice that the shrimp has lost its head or tail, this is a sign that it has been stored for too long.

If the shrimp head starts to rot and become soft, this type of shrimp is not a good choice. After cooking, it will have a fishy taste and will no longer be fresh.

Type 2: Pink Shrimp Shell

Some shrimp shells may turn pink when they are exposed to high temperatures during transportation. This is usually a sign that they have gone through the aging process, and this type will not retain its flavor well. When choosing shrimp, prioritize buying those with clean shells and no visible signs of discoloration.
