Colored Prawn Chips (Uncooked) – Authentic Asian Shrimp Crackers | Fry at Home Crispy Snack | Colorful Party Chips, Light & Crunchy (8oz Pack of 2)

People should realize this is a raw, uncooked chip that can be cooked and seasoned as desired. There is the slightest HINT of shrimp flavor as is normal for these chips if eaten unseasoned. About 15 discs make a nice big bowl. I made a seasoning of buffalo powder and a bit of Tiger seasoning and sprinkled on some of these and they were the bomb. I also like them plain. The flavor profiles YOU decide to influence your chips with are infinite. I love the fact that they are packaged in small bags so you don't have the whole box open to the air and humidity etc. I cooked mine in an inch of hot oil. You only need a small pan of oil and not too many at once because they puff in about 2-3 seconds and if you leave them in too long, they will brown. They look and are textured similar to pork rinds but not quite as thick or tough. I also tried the microwave as one reviewer suggested. I cooked them for 40 seconds. They did puff but just kind of ok. Several of them didn't puff on the very outer edge and it is impossible to eat this part as it is very, very sharp and hard. I will try again for a bit longer period some time. They were still very edible for the most part and the natural flavor was a tad bit stronger than the oil fried. The oil fried are IMHO the best way to cook these for appearance and texture. These are great to have on hand, especially if you have unexpected company often or live far from a store or don't have a lot of money to waste. They literally last forever uncooked if kept dry and in a cool dark cupboard. And you can't beat the price. Just two of the small bags of discs alone would make as much as many large bags of chips from the grocery store which you would likely spend much more money on, than a whole case of these chips. And there are ten bags in the box. I give these an A+

These prawn crackers are a hit every time I serve them at parties. The 5-pound family size is great for big groups or multiple occasions. Cooking them is easy and quick—just a few seconds in hot oil and they puff up beautifully, crispy and light. The multi-color variety adds a fun visual touch to any snack table, and the shrimp flavor is authentic without being overpowering. They’re a tasty, crunchy appetizer that pairs well with dips or as a standalone snack. Tip: Use a deep fryer or a pot with plenty of oil for the best puff and texture.

I've been on a mission to find easy, tasty, semi-healthy snacks and these little things fill the bill! They are very weird but delightful little things both before and after cooking. Before cooking they are fairly transparent, very thin discs that are colorful, about the size of half-dollars and blossom into large pastel cup looking things that are very crispy and ready to eat in seconds after being placed into hot oil. I use coconut oil to cook them and the oil needs to be VERY hot for them to cook within those few seconds after submersion. They are called shrimp crackers but there's very little aroma or taste of shrimp and resemble nothing at all like crackers! That said, if you are looking for an interesting snack, give these consideration. Hopefully you won't be disappointed! Be well, y'all.

Two 8oz boxes of colorful discs that look better than they taste. These have to be deep fried in hot, shallow oil. They puff up and expand to several times their raw size. Taste is ok but the quality of these chips is inconsistent. About 20% of them turn out tougher than the rest. Just toss out the hard ones if you have expensive dental work. I settled for this brand because of the positive reviews. Most of the chips are decent quality. though. Flavor of shrimp is mild and can be quite addicting. Like with other chips... can't stop with one.

I’ve been frying these up for celebrations since the 80’s and NEVER have I had such tasteless prawn chips - it’s really like eating paper. Very disappointed. Very overpriced - even if they’d been tasty.

I was hesitant to purchase these at first, as I wasn't familiar with shrimp chips. Boy, was I ever GLAD that I took the plunge! You don't need alot of oil, just enough to allow the chips to sizzle a bit, and they puff up VERY quickly, so have a slotted spoon ready to scoop them up. Once on a paper towel, I gave them a light sprinkle with some Old Bay Seasoning, and the family LOVED them! Try using them to scoop up ceviche, tuna poke, crab salad, tuna salad, or whatever sounds good to you. They're irresistible!!!

I love them! I was introduced to them as a young girl by a schoolmate of mine and I remember watching her show me these plastic looking disks....she said we were going to have them as a snack.....I thought she had lost her mind! But she heated the oil and threw a few in and before my eyes they proofed up into these light and fluffy chips! ( with pretty colors too! Lol) then I tasted them, they were just Devine!... So when I grew up I started to look for them but to no avail.... Then browsing on here I ran across them....I bought some, they arrived in a few days, I opened the package and whipped out the pan and oil. There I was, transported back to my childhood...Poof! There they were! A little salt and "Voila" they are as good as I remember! The delicate shrimp flavor I missed! So much yum in a little plastic looking disk......Aaahhhh Memories!😉

Not very tasty
