What is shabu shabu?

It is a hot pot dish served with a pot of hot water with thinly sliced meat and vegetable.
You will enjoy meat first by dipping in the hot water and eat it right away with the sauce provided.
Vegetables can also be enjoyed in the same manner depending on your liking. Alternatively, you can place all the vegetable in the pot towards to the end and let them cook a little longer.

There isn’t really a right way to enjoy it. If you do happen to go to a shabu shabu restaurant for the first time, as long as you don’t place all the food into the hot pot at the beginning, you will not get laughed at.
