Ingredients

  • 2 ounces prawn crackers uncooked
  • canola oil or other neutral oil (amount will depend on the size of your pot)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt Morton brand
  • ½ cup sweet chili sauce optional for dipping

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add 2” of canola oil to a large Dutch oven (or other deep, heavy pot) set over medium-high heat. 
  2. Line a rimmed sheet pan with a layer of paper towels, or place a wire baking rack inside the sheet pan. Set it aside. 
  3. When the oil reaches 385°F, carefully add a small handful of prawn crackers (about 5-8 depending on the size of your Dutch oven). The crackers will puff up almost immediately. When they float to the top of the oil, after 5-10 seconds or so, remove them with a wire spider strainer or tongs and place them on the prepared sheet pan. Sprinkle with a bit of salt. 
  4. Repeat step 3 with the remaining prawn crackers. 
  5. Serve immediately, with optional sweet chili sauce for dipping.
