Prepare the Shrimp
Pat the peeled and deveined shrimp dry with paper towels. This step is essential for a crispy texture.
Frying

Heat the Oil
In a deep pot or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to check the temperature.

Fry the Shrimp
Dip each shrimp into the batter, allowing excess to drip off. Carefully place them in the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Grill the Kalbi
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the beef from the marinade and grill for about 5-7 minutes per side or until desired doneness. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
