I always grilled shrimp, but they tend to toughen. So I decided to simmer them.

If you simmer too long the shrimp will become tough, so blanch them first to remove the odor, and after simmering the shrimp in the combined seasonings, leave them to absorb the flavor. I held back on the saltiness so adjust with light soy sauce to taste. Recipe by purelife
