I ordered it because it was a seasonal item, and it was amazing 🔥 Packed with vegetables, it looked hearty just to see, and the crab pieces were big and full of meat, so much fun to pick apart!!

There were clams in it too, so the broth was really refreshing and deep 😋 Since the broth comes purely from seafood, it had that spicy, clean flavor without needing anything else added!! It's a seasonal item so it's not always available, so if you see it, definitely order it 🙌

The plump, fresh shrimp came already peeled, so it was easy to eat too 😆

On top of that, if you cut off the heads and add ₩3,000, they'll turn them into butter-grilled shrimp heads, and let me tell you, that's the real deal!!

The moment the shrimp head innards burst out of that sweet, salty butter, the savoriness spreads all through your mouth 🧈🔥 Only people who've tried it know this flavor!! Definitely add the butter-grilled heads, highly recommend!!
