Ganjang Saewoo Jang :: Make Delicious and Affordable Marinated Shrimp Easily with Savory Soy Sauce
I’ve made homemade Ganjang Saewoo Jang! Peeling shrimp is surprisingly easy once you learn how, and making the savory soy sauce is a breeze using just one bottle of Gompyo Jo-rim Bok-eum Mat Ganjang. I made it really simply and affordably.
Ingredients- Shrimp
- 2 Cheongyang peppers
- 1 red chili pepper
Marinade- Savory Soy Sauce (Gompyo Jo-rim Bok-eum Mat Ganjang) – 1 bottle (or equivalent amount of soy sauce)
- Savory Soy Sauce (Gompyo Jo-rim Bok-eum Mat Ganjang) – 1 bottle (or equivalent amount of soy sauce)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by separating the heads from the shrimp. Then, peel the shells and carefully devein the shrimp by making a shallow cut along the back. Removing the black intestinal tract is crucial for a clean flavor. This preparation step, though it may seem a bit tedious, significantly enhances the final taste of your marinated shrimp.
Step 2
Arrange the prepared shrimp neatly in an airtight container. Pour the Gompyo Jo-rim Bok-eum Mat Ganjang generously over the shrimp, ensuring they are fully submerged. If you like a bit of spice and color, finely slice the Cheongyang and red chili peppers and add them to the container with the shrimp. This will infuse the marinade with a delightful kick and visual appeal.
Step 3
Seal the container tightly and refrigerate. Allow the shrimp to marinate for at least 2 to 3 days. During this time, the savory soy sauce will permeate the shrimp, creating a rich and complex flavor. For an even deeper taste, you can extend the marinating time beyond 3 days, adjusting according to your preference.
