Ingredients: Jumbo shrimp, salt, pepper, green pumpkin, eggs, Korean pancake mix (or all-purpose flour)

I was trying to feed 4 people, including myself, so I used one bag (500g) of Korean pancake mix.

Directions:

❶ Remove the shell, head, tail and vein from shrimp.

❷ Cut the shrimp, pepper, green pumpkin into small pieces.

❸ Pour 500g of Korean pancake mix and 700-800ml of water into a bowl.

❹ Stir 4-5 eggs in a separate bowl.

❺ Put all ingredients together and add one tablespoon of salt. Stir until it’s all mixed.

❻ Heat a pan on medium coat it with the oil. Make sure to pour enough oil.

❼ Pour batter to coat the bottom of the pan and add more shrimp!

❽ Cook for 4-5 minutes until the bottom turns golden brown.

❾ Flip the pancake and add more oil. Then heat another 3-4 minutes.
