Freezing fresh shrimp for my Nem

[ken6217]

I have been buying fresh shrimp at the supermarket for my nem. I usually throw most if it away as it goes bad before I can use it up.

I was thinking of cutting it in pieces and then freezing it and then defrost pieces as I need it.

Will it keep its nutritional value if I do this? Also is it a good idea to soak the pieces in Selcon before or after I freeze?

Thanks,
Ken

I've never used selcon with my bta, but I always freeze food. I don't feed him too often so I have no choice but to freeze. I've seen no adverse effects and I couldn't imagine it would make too much of a difference anyway.

i too freeze my shrimp and scallop and thaw them as necessary.

no adverse effects.

Freezing works great.
