Kam Poong Shrimp (Korean sweet & spicy shrimp)

April 20, 2020 By Cherrie Leave a Comment

This probably tops my list if I’m ever craving some sort of Asian comfort food. The tanginess is mixed with the perfect amount of sweetness plus a nice spicy kick. My mouth is watering as I type this…..so here ya go!

*Side note: I love my rice extra saucy so I usually make a double portion of sauce 😉
