Notes
The shell helps add the umami flavor to the dish while protecting the meat to ensure the shrimp stays nice and juicy. You can get Shrimp that are deveined with the shell on at most grocery stores, but if not, make sure to clean the shrimp. First, scrub the shrimp with potato starch and rinse them under cold water to clean the shrimp. Next, pull the head off if it is still attached and, using a scissor, cut open the back of the shrimp and then use a skewer sideway to devein the shrimp.
