"Some dried shrimps have their heads attached which can be quite prickly. If that’s the case, you should sauté the shrimp first in a pan without oil for couple minutes, put it into a towel and then rub the shrimp in towel to brush off the prickly stuff.
The shrimp that I bought from my local market ( Samho 삼호 is the brand) have the heads removed which makes things easy. So try to buy the same kind if you can. Also taste the dried shrimp before you cook – they should taste good even at this stage. They should not be too dry or tasteless which means they are probably too old or of poor quality."

Daikon is good for the GI track, and goes well with the tiny shrimp.
