Once again, Jo at Create A Cook has fueled a blog post. This time she brought me these tiny, lovely crabs - marinaded in chili's, and I'm sure a bunch of other ingredients I'm just not recognizing. She found them near other banchan (the little dishes that accompany Korean meals) which leads me to believe that's what these guys are. I love it when Jo goes to H Mart.
Banchan!
I've got no idea how to eat these little guys, outside of with a nice bowl of rice.
The flavour is spicy and fermented with a undeniable fishiness. Much stronger than the shrimp she got me last time. As always, I love the biting through the crisp shells.
After tasting these little guys I'm reminded that I need to eat more Korean food.
Thanks for another delicious post Jo!

I forgot to add in the original post that a few of my 9-11 year old students tried these shrimp and loved them!
I think the Korean food is more delicious and after seeing the tiny small seasoned crab I also felt like tasting it myself. It would have been better if the recipe had been posted so that I can try to cook for myself as I am more interested in tasting Korean food.
