Among many seafood ingredients, shrimp is my favorite. In addition to the delicious taste and smooth taste, shrimp also has high nutritional value. With its low-fat and high-protein characteristics, it has also been sought after by countless people who reduce fat. It can be said that shrimp is a kind of seafood with both delicious and nutritional value.
Although there are many friends who love shrimp, not many friends who really know shrimp. For example, when we go to the market to buy shrimps, we all know that what we want to buy is "shrimp", but there are so many kinds of shrimps in the market with different names, which often makes people picky. For example, the three most common types of shrimps, Roche prawns, Jiwei prawns, and prawns, are still confused by many people.
So today, Lazy Meow will talk to you about shrimp topics, let’s take a look at the three types of shrimp, Roche prawns, Jiwei prawns, and prawns. What is the difference? The taste difference between them is much different. I suggest that you must figure it out before buying.
1. Roche prawn
Roche prawn, also known as white-footed shrimp, Malaysian prawn , originated in Ecuador, known as the "king of freshwater shrimp". When we see Roche shrimp, we have to react immediately. This is not shrimp caught from the sea, but freshwater shrimp.
It is still very simple to identify Roche prawns from the appearance. The shell part of the prawn is blue-brown, and the more characteristic part is the forelimb part, which is longer and blue-blue, and the head part is larger than the body. Compared with other freshwater prawns, the size of Roche prawns is larger, and the largest body length can reach about 40 cm.
Roche prawns have thin shells and more meat. After they are mature, the head and breast carapace of the shrimp are also full of gonads. The taste is somewhat similar to crab yellow and is very delicious. This is also one of the great tastes of Roche prawns. feature. Regarding the suitable method of Roche shrimp, whether it is boiled, braised in oil, pan-fried, etc., it is very suitable, and it can also be processed into dried shrimp and other seafood.
2. Jiwei shrimp
Jiwei shrimp,It is also the most common type of shrimp when we visit the seafood market. Many friends mistakenly believe that Jiwei shrimp is a name for a species of shrimp. In fact, Jiwei shrimp refers to shrimps raised in the “Jiwei” culture method. At present, most of the species are New Penaeus (Penaeus prawn).
The appearance of the base shrimp is brown, and the size is relatively small. There is a very obvious feature on the outside. The surface of the shrimp shell has obvious brown patterns. When they are cooked, these patterns will disappear. At present, most of the shrimps on the market are farmed in freshwater, and the price is relatively cheap.
When it comes to the taste of Jiwei shrimp, it can only be said to be quite satisfactory. The meat of Jiwei shrimp is relatively soft and not flexible enough, and because of its small size, it will not taste good enough for foodies.
3. Prawns
Prawns, also known as Chinese prawns, Oriental prawns, Mexican brown prawns and Guyana white prawns, are also known as the "three famous shrimps in the world". Prawns are typical marine shrimps. Because of the difficulty of breeding, most of the prawns sold in the market are caught from the sea. The prawns are relatively large, with very long whiskers, and the smallest prawns are more than 10 cm long, which can be said to be real "big prawns".
Prawns are native to my country and the price is relatively high. Ordinary prawns are sold by catty, while the larger sea-caught large prawn is sold by only. prawns are sea prawns. The meat is plump, firm and plump. It is very satisfying to bite down. The full prawn meat is very satisfying. It is very suitable for boiled and oily simmered.

Next time you go to the market to buy shrimp, you will see three common types of shrimp, Roche prawns, base prawns, and prawns. Don’t be silly. NS. It is not difficult to distinguish them from the appearance. The forefoot part of the prawn is blue-blue, the head is larger than the body, and there are stripes on the surface of the prawn.The size of the prawns is relatively small, and the prawns are larger.
And in terms of taste, there is a lot of difference between them. The prawns are sea prawns, which are relatively large. Among the three types of prawns, they have the best taste and taste very enjoyable. Mature Roche prawns have gonads that resemble crab yellow on the head, and the taste is also good; However, Jiwei prawns are relatively small, and taste slightly inferior to prawns and Roche prawns.
