Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • If you collect and boil the heads from grilled salted shrimp or fried shrimp, the savory and rich extract from the innards will infuse the broth, deepening the flavor significantly.
  • Using 1 tablespoon of doenjang as a base seasoning perfectly masks any fishy smell from the seafood while supporting a deep, savory broth.
  • Just before turning off the heat, add fresh water dropwort or crown daisy to clean and refresh the finish of the spicy stew, cutting through any heaviness.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to most thriftily and refreshingly transform leftover shrimp pieces and heads from grilled shrimp into a second dish.
  • Those seeking a perfectly spicy and bracing broth dish for a hangover that feels like a punch to the stomach.
  • Those who want to recreate the deep, umami-rich seafood stew style of a raw fish restaurant or spicy stew specialty shop at home.
