"Pissing ^^^ Shrimp "

Mantis Shrimp ----

In China and some Asian country ,,,Mantis Shrimp is one of the popular sea food..and is my favorite sea food as well !!! We also call it 'Pissing Shrimp" in Chinese. (Because when people pick it up, it always shoot a jet of water)

However, I never seen pissing shrimp in the market at bay area!! Not even the frozen one!!!




There are more than 400 species Mantis Shrimp in the world, they are aggressive and solitary creature,,,they have sharp claws and good eyesight

They like hiding in rocks!!!

Pissing shrimp looks a little bit like lobster,its shell is also hard,but for me ,,,i love Pissing Shrimp much better than lobster,,,Pissing Shrimp's meet tastes much softer than lobster after cooking!!

In Chinese Cuisine, Pissing Shrimps are made into different kins of delicious dishes,,::


The most delicious cooking way i like is boiling in the salt water,,
