Gochujang Cones


This is a meal I'd had the general idea about for a while.  I'd initially been planning on using a buffalo sauce, but upon the realization that I had the bottle of gochujang sauce in my fridge I opted to mix things up a bit.  In the end, I'm glad I did, because this worked out extremely well.

Ingredients:

1 Package of Large Shrimp
1 Bag of Frozen Pearl Onions
1 Bottle of Gochujang Sauce (most of it anyways)
1 Bag of Frozen Chopped Broccoli
Some Rice (I believe I used 2/3 cups of rice and 4/3 cups of water)

Instructions:

Begin cooking rice because it's a super slow process
Deshell shrimp (or buy deshelled shrimp if you want to skip this)
Begin pan frying said shrimp
Start cooking the broccoli on the stove
Add Pearl Onions to the pan and continue cooking
Add Gochujang sauce to the pan and continue cooking
Also add gochujang sauce to the broccoli, because green greens are overrated
Cook until everything looks done
Put the shrimp on the plate so they lay flat
Balance the pearl onions onto the shrimp
Add rice and broccoli to the plate
Spoon some excess pearl onions onto said rice and broccoli


This turned out extremely well.  I'm not sure if this is due to the gochujang sauce working well with shrimp, or if it's just a sauce that's just pretty dang good.  The amount of effort involved with stacking a pearl onion on top of a shrimp.  Luckily this can be bypassed by just mixing the shrimp, onions, broccoli, and rice together.  Sidenote: this would make one heal of a burrito.  
Just about the only thing I would change about this would be to use larger shrimp.  This is entirely due to the fact that it will make the act of stacking the pearl onions easier.  It will also make the cones look more conish.  But overall it's a recipe that just works.  Onions go with all meats.  I'm pretty sure this is a fact.  If there are any meats that don't mix with onions, please let me know, and I'll immediately put it to the test.
