Shrimp crackers are a crunchy, savory snack popular in Southeast Asian cuisine, particularly in countries like Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand. Made primarily from a blend of ground shrimp, tapioca flour, and seasonings, these crackers are traditionally deep-fried, causing them to puff up into their light, airy texture. While they offer a delicious source of umami flavor and are gluten-free due to the use of tapioca, shrimp crackers are typically high in sodium and fat content due to their preparation method. Though they provide small amounts of protein from shrimp, the deep frying process makes them calorie-dense and less suitable for those seeking low-fat snack options. Often served as an accompaniment to meals or enjoyed on their own, shrimp crackers remain a beloved treat despite their indulgent nature. Moderation is key for enjoying this flavorful snack as part of a balanced diet.
