Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Pat shrimp and squid dry with paper towels.

  2. Step 2

    Sauté shrimp 90 seconds per side without moving. Transfer to a plate when edges turn opaque.

  3. Step 3

    Add squid to the same skillet. Cook 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until rings curl and lighten.

  4. Step 4

    Return shrimp to skillet. Stir in gochujang and 2 tbsp water. Toss until everything is coated and glaze thickens, ~60 seconds.

  5. Step 5

    Divide rice between two bowls. Top with shrimp-squid mixture, then sprinkle with scallion, sesame seeds, and nori strips.
