prawn cracker
Seafood puff snack
A prawn cracker is a light, crispy snack made from starch and prawn flavoring, popular in Southeast Asian cuisines and commonly served with Chinese takeout in Western countries.
The chips puff up dramatically when deep-fried, becoming airy and crunchy.
The kids always fight over the prawn crackers.
