Prawn crackers, also known as shrimp chips, are a popular snack originating from Southeast Asia, particularly Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand. Made primarily from a blend of prawn, tapioca flour, and water, these crackers are typically seasoned, dried, and deep-fried, resulting in their light, crispy texture and savory seafood flavor. They are often enjoyed as a side dish, appetizer, or snack, complementing many Asian cuisines. While prawn crackers are low in protein and have some calcium from the seafood content, they are calorie-dense and high in fat due to deep frying. Sodium levels can also be significant, depending on added seasonings. As a processed snack, they should be consumed in moderation, especially by those monitoring fat or sodium intake. Opting for baked versions or pairing them with a nutrient-rich meal can help balance their indulgent nature.
