Salt draws out the old dead blood, and unclean parts of the shrimp and leaves it clean. When it is rinsed and cooked the flavor is unbelieveablely different from Shrimp cooked other wise. Salt is a preservative. Our ancestors used salt to cure food to be used later. Country Ham, Corned Ham, Beef Jerky, and salted fish were staples of their diets.
Salt has healing properties.
It kills most germs on contact. It burns when it hits a raw spot, but is very effective in cleansing a wound so it can heal. A good Christian exhibits the qualities of salt. We add a better flavor to the life around us. We preserve the good of God's creation.
