I Googled your question, and got a lot of "speed cooking" results. I think this may be the problem you found, and the reason you asked the question here. Looking on some scientific websites, apparently the shrimp's speed differs upon species. Do you have a specific species in mind?
How do you make shrimp cocktail?
To make shrimp cocktail you can either use already cooked shrimp from the market, or you can make your own. In a pot add water, pepper, lemon, thyme, parsley, and garlic. Chop up and onion and add it to the pot. You can also put some celery, or any other seasonings that you enjoy. Bring everything to a boil, lower the heat and drop the shrimp in. Cook the shrimp just until the turn pink and curl. Cool the shrimp. Put cocktail sauce in a glass or bowl and hang the shrimp around the bowl or glass.
Glow fish are Zebra Danios that have had a jellyfish gene added to them to make them glow. They will eat Brine Shrimp avidly.
How many eggs does a prawn lay in a year?
The Giant River Prawn (Macrobrachiumrosenbergii) is a large freshwater shrimp native to the Indo-Pacific region. Females can lay up to 10 thousand to 50 thousand eggs at one time as many as 5 times per year. So for maximum eggs, think in the region of 250 thousand for one year.
Most American call a big shrimp a prawn and enjoy eating them deep fried, and covered in batter like coconut prawns. The truth is that in all other English speaking parts of the world, they are all called prawns no matter what the size. As long as we are adding culinary preferences, Thai people like to barbecue them and eat the whole thing, including the head. Actually they chew up the heads and spit out the shells and gills.
Answer
Prawns are shrimp-like crustaceans, belonging to the sub-order Dendrobranchiata. Prawns are distinguished from shrimp by the gill structure which is branching in prawns. In various forms of English, the name 'prawn' is often applied to shrimp as well, generally the larger species are reffered to as prawns.
-A shrimp generally originates from saltwater and a prawn lives in fresh water. In some American grocery stores they sometimes call a large shrimp with the head attached a prawn but they are not. Prawns and shrimp are different
Many Otters have been found dead in crayfish traps,so yes they do eat crays.
I have no idea, but I need to know for a science project on pond life. :(
Can you freeze shrimp thaw it and refreeze it?
No! Fish is a meat that is very perishable, meaning it goes bad quickly. When I buy shrimp I usually plan to eat it that night, and I keep it on ice in the refrigerator. Where we live we don't get fresh shrimp, so it has already been frozen once, and I use it immediately. Shrimp also becomes rubbery.
How much do Ghost Shrimp cost?
PetSmart usually offers them for around 33 cents, Petco also occasionally has them. Talk to the fish person at your local store(s) and ask them to call you when they get them in (people who work in the fish part of the store are generally cool in my experience, leave your number, tell them that you really need them, etc). Call yin advance and see if they have any in stock, instead of driving there.
Also ask them what day of the week they usually get their live shipments. I couldn't justify buying ghost shrimp for more than about 50 cents a piece (not much really when you consider the scope of the amount of work that goes into growing them).
Another option would be to buy high-quality brine shrimp eggs and a cheap used brine shrimp hatchery on either Ebay or a legit-looking online store. HOWEVER I wouldn't suggest buying live ghost shrimp online, they are typically disappointingly small (or comatose/dead) upon arrival.
(This is all under the assumption that you're feeding them to fish)
What type of water do shrimp live in?
The wet kind.
Some species live in fresh water, others live in salt water.
hibernate, since they are not fast enough to migrate far distances.
What animal eats an Spiny Lobster?
Lobsters will eat almost anything, but their favorite foods are snails, crabs, clams, and urchins.
Can brine shrimp survive in a tropical tank?
There are not many fish that won't. Maybe algae eaters and large cichlids like fully grown Oscars would not be interested. But just about all Tetras, Danios, Rasboras, Barbs, Anabantids, Dwarf Cichlids, Killi fish, Livebearers etc etc will love a feed of Brine shrimp.
Yes. If you want to find out if something is a crustacean, use this checklist.
CRUSTACEANS HAVE:
- Hard outer shell
- Claws(usually)
- usually live in water
- Stalked eyes
- 6 or more legs
Is a shrimps heart really in its head?
No, it is located in their thorax just below the head. But it does seem that way because their exoskeleton covers its short thorax so it looks like it only has two parts, the head and the tail.
How much sea salt or conditioning salt do you add to a brine shrimp aquarium?
The best way to know is to use a hydrometer to measure the salt level, you want around 1.025 or 35 ppt salt.
Yes, shrimps do swim backwards because they don't have fins to move in the water so they pull in their abdomen towards their body quickly. doing this propels them through the water but they are moving backwards.
tricky question!
Is it safe to eat shrimp whilst pregnant if the baby might be allergic to shrimp?
no. definatley not. if there are any possibility of allergies stay clear of them. There are certain fish food's you cannot eat while your pregnant because of the mercury, but yes you can have shrimp. Whoever wrote the above answer probably cannot get pregnant and is mad at the world. Go ahead just stay away from a whole bunch of albacore tuna. Eat the shrimp!
Ghost Shrimp are a species of Shrimp. They have gills, so they absorb oxygen directly from the water. Just like fish, they do not breath air.
