Cooking tips

Defrosting frozen shrimp in water mixed with soju, rather than just water, can strongly eliminate the unique dullness and fishy smell of seafood.
Using large, tail-on frozen shrimp that have already been cleaned of their back vein and bones can significantly reduce cooking time.
Marinating in the refrigerator for at least half a day after mixing is crucial for the seasoning to fully penetrate the shrimp flesh, preventing it from tasting bland.
