shrimp chips
Crispy seafood snacks
Shrimp chips are light, crispy snacks made from tapioca starch and shrimp paste, popular in Southeast Asian cuisines.
They puff up dramatically when deep-fried, expanding from dense wafers into airy, curved chips with a mild seafood flavor.
Also called prawn crackers or krupuk.
The Vietnamese restaurant served shrimp chips with the appetizers.
