Ingredients:

• Shrimp or prawn meat
• Starch (typically tapioca or potato starch)
• Seasonings like salt, sugar, and sometimes flavorings such as ginger or garlic powder.

Preparation:

• The process begins by creating a paste from shrimp or prawn meat, water, and seasonings.
• Tapioca or potato starch is then added to the paste, turning it into a thick and sticky dough.

Get ready to make your delicious prawn crackers! These crispy snacks are not only yummy to eat but also easy to make. Let’s move into the kitchen to make this Prawn crackers recipe.

Ingredients:

• 200 grams of shrimp meat (about 1 cup; peeled and deveined)
• 160 grams of cold water (⅔ cup)
• 9 grams of salt (½ tablespoon)
• 12.5 grams of sugar (1 tablespoon)
• 2 grams of ginger powder (½ teaspoon; or 2 slices of fresh ginger)
• 4 grams of garlic powder (1 teaspoon; optional)
• 400 grams of tapioca starch (3+⅓ cups; you can also use potato starch)

Step By Step Instructions:

Step 1 – Prepare the Shrimp:

Start by peeling and devening a shrimp. It’s important to remove the shells and the dark vein that runs along the back of the shrimp.

Step 2 – Make the Shrimp Paste:

Mix the shrimp, cold water, salt, sugar, and ginger powder into a food processor. You can add garlic powder, too, if you’re in love with garlic. Once you have the smooth paste, blend everything.

Step 3 – Add Starch:

Transfer the shrimp paste to a large mixing bowl. Gradually add the tapioca starch (or potato starch) while stirring. Keep mixing until it becomes a thick and sticky dough.

Step 4 – Roll the Dough:

Now comes the fun part! Take small pieces of the dough and roll them into small balls or even tiny pancakes. These will be your prawn crackers.

Step 5 – Dry Them Out:

Place your prawn cracker shapes on a tray and let them sit out for a few hours to dry. If you have a sunny spot, that’s even better.

Step 6 – Fry Them Up:

Heat some oil in a pan. Once it’s hot, carefully drop your prawn crackers into the oil. They will puff up and turn crispy in just a few seconds. Make sure to do this step with adult supervision.

Step 7 – Enjoy:

Once they’re golden and crispy, take your prawn crackers out of the oil and let them cool for a minute. Then, it’s time to enjoy your homemade crackers!

Prawn crackers are commonly served as a snack, often with dipping sauces like sweet chili sauce. They can also be a delightful addition to meals, served as an appetizer or a side dish.
