Shrimp crackers are a crispy, puffed snack popular in Southeast Asian cuisine, particularly in countries like Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam. These lightweight treats are made primarily from a blend of shrimp or prawn, tapioca flour, and seasoning. The mixture is shaped into thin slices, dried, and then deep-fried, causing them to expand into their characteristic airy texture. Shrimp crackers are rich in flavor and often enjoyed as a side dish or snack. While they offer some protein content from the shrimp, they are typically high in sodium and fat due to the frying process. Additionally, many brands contain added preservatives and artificial flavoring. Moderation is key in enjoying shrimp crackers, as their high calorie and fat content can outweigh their nutritional benefits. They’re gluten-free, making them suitable for individuals with gluten sensitivities, but should be consumed thoughtfully within a balanced diet.
