Notes

  • Gochujang varies in spice level, so adjust the amount according to your preference.
  • Shrimp cook very quickly and can become rubbery if overcooked.
  • Marinating for 20 to 30 minutes is enough to add flavor without affecting the texture.
  • A light char from the grill enhances the sweet and spicy glaze.
