The period of making shrimp paste using traditional methods is at least eight months. The processing of shrimp paste was recorded in agronomist Jia Sixie’s Important Arts of People’s Welfare during the North Wei Dynasty. Salted with traditional method, featuring unique taste, exquisite recipe and salty and refreshing quality, “Yangkou Shrimp Paste” has become a local specialty which people in Shouguang are proud of.
