Sung Si-kyung's Zucchini Shrimp Wanja-jeon

A savory jeon made by pan-frying salted zucchini with springy shrimp and Korean hot chili pepper in potato starch for a crispy finish

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Squeeze out as much moisture from the zucchini as possible to prevent the batter from becoming sticky and to maintain a crispy texture.
  • If the shrimp is chopped too finely, the texture will be less satisfying, so roughly chop it to retain a chewy bite.
  • The Korean hot chili pepper cuts through any potential greasiness from the zucchini and shrimp, keeping the flavor clean.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to make a crispy-outside, moist-inside jeon using only potato starch without wheat flour.
  • Those who want to enjoy the springiness of shrimp and the sweetness of zucchini at the same time.
