    1. Put the dried kelp in a pot, cover with 1.5 liters (6 cups) of cold water, and set it over the heat. Bring to a boil. 2. Add the peeled garlic, cook 2–3 minutes, then strain the broth through a fine sieve. 3. Return the strained broth to a clean pot over the heat. Add a third of the shrimp (shell-on) and bring back to a boil. 4. While the broth heats, prep the vegetables: cut the young zucchini and daikon into rounds, the carrot into medium cubes, the bell pepper into rings, the onion into half-rings, and the leek and ginger into rounds. 5. Add the zucchini, daikon, carrot, both kinds of onion, and the ginger to the boiling broth. Cook everything together for 8 minutes. 6. Add the seafood: crab legs, the rest of the shrimp, squid rings, and the mussels in their shells. Bring it back to a boil. 7. As soon as it boils, stir in the haemul-tang paste (or miso) and the ground hot pepper, mixing well so the paste fully dissolves. 8. Taste for salt and add more if needed. 9. Once the paste is dissolved, add the halibut, cut into large pieces, and the bell pepper. Cook just until the halibut is done — literally 3–5 minutes over high heat. Try to keep the fish pieces intact. 10. Fish the ginger slices out of the soup (leave them in if you like it spicy). The soup is ready. Serve with steamed rice and an assortment of Korean side salads. Enjoy!
