Prawn and Shrimp are not Makruh.

It’s written on Qur’an and Hadith that everything that living on the sea are halal.

Prawn and shrimp are originally from the sea and they try to produce it in such a big tank for commodity.

About Korean food, I think most of the spices and sauces are not halal due to the fermentation process and they also out sake or wine, so it contains alcohol.

Guchojang, and kimchi are made of halal ingredients but if they put wine or sake it won’t be halal. And if they fermented the sauce ehich contains juice (rice juice or fruits juice) for 6 months to years even 5 years for the better taste. It contains alcohol already, and it may considered as haram because the process is exactlly like making Khamr (alcoholic drink).

But fermented food with yeast. Like sticky rice or fermented cassava by yeast are halal. Because those foods are not Khamr.

Anyway,
There are some halal recipes to make the sauce and kimci without fermentation. And you can substitute the wine/sake with vinegar and sweet fermented rice with honey.

Of course the taste will not be authentic but still eatable.
