Number Of Ingredients 12

½ cup light soy sauce
3 scallions, minced, divided
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon finely minced ginger
1 ½ teaspoons mirin
1 ½ teaspoons white sugar, or more to taste
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
½ teaspoon sesame oil
1 pound fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined
½ tablespoon gochujang (Korean hot pepper paste)

Steps:

  • Combine soy sauce, 2 minced scallions, garlic, sesame seeds, cornstarch, ginger, mirin, sugar, red pepper flakes, and sesame oil in a bowl to make marinade.
