Step 1
Pat shrimp and squid dry. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over high heat until it shimmers, about 1 minute.
Step 2
Sear shrimp 90 seconds per side without stirring — edges should turn opaque. Transfer to a plate.
Step 3
Add squid to the same skillet. Sear 60 seconds per side until edges curl. Move to the plate with shrimp.
Step 4
Reduce heat to medium. Stir gochujang, fish sauce, and 2 tbsp water until combined, about 30 seconds.
Step 5
Return shrimp and squid to the skillet. Toss with sauce for 1 minute until coated and heated through.
Step 6
Remove from heat. Tear basil by hand, fold into the seafood, and squeeze lime juice over. Serve immediately.
