Many parents have successfully made pork floss, chicken floss, salmon floss… but what about Mantis shrimp floss? Is there anything different in making Mantis shrimp floss for babies? Parents should start preparing the ingredients and processing right away.
Choosing to buy fresh and delicious Mantis shrimp
When choosing Mantis shrimp to make floss, you should choose fresh ones, large in size, thick in body and firm in meat. You should not buy too small ones because the meat inside will be very little.

Other ingredients that need to be prepared include: lemongrass cut into pieces, fish sauce, MSG, seasoning powder, sugar…
Steaming and preparing Mantis Shrimp
To prevent the nutrients in Mantis Shrimp meat from being “transformed too much” during processing, it is best to steam it. If you do not have experience in steaming, parents can leave it for 20 – 30 minutes. Steam it with a little lemongrass, ginger, and a few slices of fresh lemon.
After cooking, take the Mantis Shrimp out to drain and then peel the Mantis Shrimp.

This will help to get the whole meat of the Mantis Shrimp.
To process the Mantis Shrimp meat after removing the shell, parents can use a mortar and pestle to pound by hand or use a blender. Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages. However, parents are encouraged to pound by hand. Because this will create the fluffiness and fluffiness of the shrimp fibers, and the meat will not be crushed.
