Fried Prawn Crackers for Chinese New Year image

Fried Prawn crackers (sometimes also referred to as "shrimp chips") is a colorful and signature snack for any Chinese New Year celebration. Prawn crackers are deep fried and expand like a flower when dropped in hot oil.

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 2

2 cups vegetable oil ((for frying))
1 box shrimp or prawn flavored chips

Steps:

  • Heat the oil to 325 degrees Fahrenheit, and adjust your burner to maintain a constant temperature. You can use a thermometer to monitor the oil temperature for optimum frying.
  • Prepare a sheet pan by lining it with paper towels. You will also need a spider or a large spoon to handle the shrimp chips when frying.
  • Place 8 to 10 chips in the spider and drop them into the hot oil. Give them a gentle stir. Almost immediately, you will see the chips expand and float to the top of the oil.
  • Use your spider to quickly scoop them out of the oil before they get scorched or burned. Shake off as much of the excess oil as possible, and transfer them to your prepared sheet pan. Fry the chips in batches until you have enough, and transfer the cooled chips to a basket and serve.

BAKED STUFFED SHRIMP WITH RITZ CRACKERS®



Baked Stuffed Shrimp with Ritz Crackers® image

My late mother created this recipe over thirty years ago. My grandparents, my father, and myself have enjoyed these baked stuffed shrimp every other Friday for many years. It's a tradition - we eat baked stuffed shrimp for dinner and then play cards! (We've been leaving out the scallops lately due to the high price, and we don't even miss them.) We serve the shrimp with a nice garden salad and rice pilaf or baked potato.

¼ cup white cooking wine
20 jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined

Crab or Shrimp on Crackers image

My mom has made these ever since I was little. We usually make these with crab meat, but you can use canned shrimp if you'd like. These are very easy and quick to make. I will sometimes make the mixture ahead of time and then just top on crackers and bake.
