Shrimp from Siam Canadian
Shrimp is America's
favourite seafood. The shrimp meat which is dense
and white has a fresh, exquisite flavour. Shrimp
can be bought fresh and cleaned (deveined) and
also precooked. Cooked shrimp can be used as
a quick, convenient recipe ingredient.
Most shrimp is
frozen after being caught at sea, for optimum
freshness. The fat and calorie content of shrimp
is low. But the cholesterol content of cooked
shrimp is high - 166 milligrams of cholesterol
per 3 ounce serving.
There are some
three hundred varieties precooked shrimp sold
all over the world. But salt water shrimp are
usually of the warm or cold water species. Warm
water shrimp are generally white, pink and brown
caught in the tropical waters. Another warm
water variety is the rock shrimp which has a
hard shell but very sweet meat. Cold water shrimp
have a firmer meat and sweeter flavor.
Cooked shrimps
come in very many sizes; larger shrimps have
a higher price. Very large shrimp in some places
are called prawns. They may also be sold as canned
or packaged frozen cooked shrimp. Cooked shrimp
has to be bought the day they are to be cooked.
Frozen, airtight packaging is used for cooked
shelled and deveined shrimp. They will keep
for two months if your freezer is at zero degrees
or colder.
Cooked shrimp
should be heated for a time period, so as to
destroy harmful organisms. But Cooked shrimp should not
be heated for so long that the flesh is toughened.
You have to keep a careful watch so that the
shrimp is not toughened by overcooking. The
cooked shrimp flesh's color gets changed. Depending
on the size of the shrimp, the cooking time
varies. There is a change in the color of shrimp
flesh when cooked. The flesh becomes opaque
and the color changes from greyish green to
pink or orange. Cooked shrimp can be baked,
boiled, broiled, grilled, micro waved, poached,
sautéed, steamed or stir fried.
Commercially
frozen shrimp are flash - frozen. It lasts longer
in the freezer without deterioration, as there
is little handling. Frozen cooked shrimp definitely
needs to be thawed in the refrigerator in advance.
Cooked baby shrimp is also available canned
and can be used as a salad garnish. Jumbo and
large shrimp are fully cooked and individually
frozen.
Shrimp is precooked
and frozen and can remain in the home freezer
up to five months. But you should store it till
three days after you thaw.
We at Siam Canadian
maintain very stringent quality control measures
while the cooked shrimp is gathered as well as at the
processing units during packing. After harvesting

Once the shrimp is cooled, it is peeled (with
tail on) and quick frozen individually, while
they are fully fresh and retain their flavour.
Each consignment is carefully checked and the
packing containers inspected before shipment.
We have a dedicated quality control team which
does its work without any compromise.
