Shrimp Chips

Tamarind Dip

Method

Prepare Shrimp Chips

  1. 1

    Blend the Shrimp

    In a food processor, blend the shrimp until smooth.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the blended shrimp, tapioca flour, water, salt, and black pepper. Mix until a dough forms.

  3. 3

    Shape the Chips

    Spread the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, about 1/4 inch thick. Cut into desired chip shapes.

  4. 4

    Dry the Chips

    Leave the shaped chips to dry for at least 2 hours or until they are firm to the touch.

  5. 5

    Fry the Chips

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Fry the dried chips in batches until they puff up and turn golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Prepare Tamarind Dip

  1. 6

    Mix Ingredients

    In a small saucepan, combine tamarind paste, water, brown sugar, soy sauce, chili flakes, and lime juice.

  2. 7

    Cook the Dip

    Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves and the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let cool.
