"The standard name for the "붉은 새우" (赤エビ or Akaebi) is the Argentinian Red Shrimp, referring to the naturally caught shrimp in southern Argentina. Due to rapid freezing and importation, it can also be consumed raw as sashimi. Unlike most shrimp that turn red when heated, the red shrimp already exhibits a red color prior to cooking. Known for its rich flavor, large size, and affordable price, it is a popular shrimp variety.
