At <www.qasigiannguit.gl>,
the coat of arms is described (in Danish; also available in
Inuit), along with other assorted communal data - but there is no
mention of a flag.

"The shrimp symbolizes the municipality's most important
source of commerce at that time. The shrimp is shown as it
appears in the sea before the catch, as well as after the catch
in a boiled state."
I gather that the cooked shrimp is the red one. And here's a
reason for one of the very few non-blue (and white) elements in
Greenlandic local heraldry.
