The shrimp chips that I've had, from Oriental markets, have more in
common with Cheetos than with American style potato chips. You can get
them puffed and unpuffed; the puffed kind you eat right out of the bag,
and the unpuffed kind you toss into hot oil, and they puff up right
before your eyes, sort of like popcorn. The result is a sort-of flat
Cheetoh, shrimp flavored rather than cheese flavored. They're pretty good.
