making some salted shrimp!
I ordered for the first time.
It tastes delicious when I add salted shrimp and anchovy sauce when making kimchi. There is plenty of it, so I think I will be able to make kimchi often.
Repeat purchase, satisfied customer!
Got it. I always ordered this.
This is an essential ingredient for making Korean kimchi; without it, it just doesn't taste right.
First time buying, I'll try cooking with it
It's frozen solid, but I plan to put it in the refrigerator later. This is the first time I've seen frozen salted shrimp and the first time I've bought it. By any chance, what was your experience like with frozen salted shrimp?
This is a reasonably priced salted shrimp product. Since salted shrimp is needed in small quantities for various Korean dishes such as stews, soups, and steamed eggs, it is an ingredient I keep in the refrigerator so I never run out.

Can’t wait to eat ! It’s second time ordering this.
The taste is good, and the quality is also good.
It tastes good to me
It was OK. A tad bit too sweet. I won’t be buying it again.
Sweet, not too salty, even kids can eat it
Reminds me of eating school meals in Korea!
Convenient, because shelf-stable and my package came with a generous expiration date. Beans themselves have a good texture.
Not enjoyable. The texture is rough and flavor is tasteless despite it’s supposed to be a soy braised flavor. Not getting this again
My precious side dish~ Moist, salty and sweet
It's good because it's not too sweet, but the portion size is very small. And the texture is a bit watery.
