FAQ

How many servings does this kimchi shrimp wrap recipe make?
It makes 2 servings, with one wrap per person.
How do I know when the shrimp are cooked?
Sauté the shrimp until they are pink, opaque throughout, and firm. Avoid overcooking to keep them tender.
Can I use cooked shrimp instead of raw shrimp?
Yes. Warm cooked shrimp briefly in the pan rather than cooking them for several minutes.
Can I make these wraps less spicy?
Yes. Use mild kimchi or reduce the amount. You can also add extra lettuce to balance the heat.
Can I use a vegetarian kimchi?
Yes, but check the label because some kimchi contains fish sauce or seafood. The shrimp would still need to be replaced for a vegetarian wrap.
Do soy sauce and kimchi contain common allergens?
Soy sauce usually contains soy and may contain wheat, while shrimp is a crustacean allergen. Check all labels for allergens and choose suitable alternatives when needed.
Can I prepare the wraps ahead of time?
They are best served immediately. If needed, refrigerate them promptly in a covered container and eat them within one day.
What can I use instead of sesame oil?
Use another neutral oil, or omit it. The wraps will still have plenty of flavor from the kimchi, shrimp, and green onion.
