Shrimp chips (蝦片)
Shrimp chips is a common snack among South East Asia. Some called it prawn crackers or prawn chips. In Chinese cuisine, Chinese shrimp chips have different colors like yellow, green, pink and white. Personally, I prefer the white one because less coloring. As a little kid I remembered, my family deep dried shrimp chips for special events such as Chinese New Year and birthdays. I thought it was a magic because a little dried plastic like circles in hot oil turned out to be chips. And, I was happy to see my parents made this fried shrimp chips.
