You can add it to your kimchi paste, use it for steamed eggs instead of salt, or use it when you sautee zucchini. It depends on how much you like it.

Hi maangchi,
how often is this used in Korean cooking? I am going to Korea in February with a friend who is allergic to shrimp and I am a little worried about it, since we don’t speak Korean we won’t be able to ask.
thanks!

My small asian store only had this thai/chinese type of shrimp paste.This one is very red and has a layer of oil on top. Is it okay to use for kimchi or is the oil bad? Thank you.

You did a good job! I would choose pink one, too. “some jars that had half pink and half grey..” The top part of salty shrimp exposed to the air or sunlight in the jar sometimes becomes brown.

I recently bought a small jar for kimchi but i noticed that at the market some jars of shrimp had pink shrimp while others had a more yellowish gray tinge (i bought the pink because they looked more appetizing lol). why do they do that? i also saw some jars that had half pink and half grey..

Happy New Year!
Salty shrimp never goes bad if you keep it in the refrigerator because it’s fermented food.

Hi Maangchi,

How long can you refrigerate shrimp paste without it spoiling?

I make kimchi maybe once every two months and I’m weary about buying too much.

Copy the shrimp sauce photo and show it to a sales clerk there. It’s the easiest way to find it.
