I have found the easiest way to multi-use shaders is to turn it into a group. Give it a name you'll recognise... and make a note of which project your shader-group is in.

Then, when you're in your .blend and want to use that shader,, do a:

File -> Append -> BlendWithShader.blend -> NodeTree -> NodeGroupByName

... and then click Append from Library. Now, when you right-click in the Node Editor, and select Add, you'll find your node-group under Group.
