Shrimp Chips or "Crisps"

By Darlene Schmidt, About.com Guide

Shrimp chips can be made 2 ways: fried or microwaved. To Microwave the Chips: Simply place some of the chips onto a plate and microwave for 20-30 seconds, until the chips "puff up". While this is a faster and easier method than frying, sometimes not all of the chip will cook properly. As with popcorn, I personally prefer the traditional fried method (despite the extra calories).

To Fry the Chips: Pour about 3/4 to 1 cup (or roughly 1/2 inch to 1 inch deep) of cooking oil into the bottom of a wok or small frying pan. Canola oil works well, or any oil that has a high temp. smoking point (here, I am using grape seed oil).
