Add 10 grams of garlic for a strong flavor or 5 grams for a gentler flavor; mix again.

Form the mixture into a log using plastic wrap and refrigerate to firm up.

Season shrimp with salt and black pepper.

Cook pasta according to package instructions.

In a pan over high heat, add a little oil and cook the shrimp for 1 minute, then flip and cook for another 30 seconds; remove from heat.

Scoop the pasta into a bowl without draining too much water.

Add slices of the gochujang butter to the pasta and mix well; adjust with salt, pasta water, or more gochujang butter as needed.

Plate the pasta, add shrimp, a piece of gochujang butter, and garnish with chives.
