Introduction
By soaking fresh shrimp in a 3% saline solution and sealing them in the freezer, you can effectively lock in moisture and prevent air exposure, maintaining the shrimp's freshness, color, and firm texture. They can be stored frozen for up to three months.
Step 1
Arrange the freshly purchased shrimp neatly in an airtight container.
Step 2
Prepare a pot of 3% concentration saltwater, stirring thoroughly to ensure the salt is completely dissolved.
Step 3
Pour the prepared saltwater into the container, ensuring the shrimp are completely submerged in the brine.
Step 4
If you are concerned about liquid leaking, you can lay a plastic bag over the opening before closing the lid tightly.
Step 5
Place the sealed container directly into the freezer for storage, where it can be kept for up to 3 months.

Important Notes
⚠️ Do not put fresh shrimp directly into the freezer in the store-bought plastic bag; this causes the shrimp to lose moisture and significantly reduces freshness.
💡 Preparing a 3% saline solution simulates a seawater environment, which effectively preserves the shrimp and maintains the elasticity of the meat.
🔥 When thawing, never leave them in the refrigerator or at room temperature to thaw slowly. You must use running water to thaw them directly to ensure the freshness and firm texture of the shrimp.
