I'm sure a simple Google/Froogle/Amazon search for that or "prawn
crackers" will turn them up.

Look for ones that are uncooked and fry them up at home. They're fun to
cook.

Don't even bother visiting the site. Nothing to see there.

Believe it or not, I started there. And, even harder to believe, I
haven't had much luck. One of the problems with Google, for example, is
that they've sold out. Between their paid-for search results and various
bots being employed on the web, almost all searches are rigged. These
bots take your search term and incorporate it into search results they
want to send you to and so few of them are legitimate results nor to
they offer what you're looking for. So many of the links I checked for
the search term "prawn chips", which is what they're called in the
industry, sent me to sights that didn't even sell any food items or they
didn't carry anything even close. I mean if you type in "ugga bugga" as
a search term, I garantee you're going to get at least one result that
says "Find out more about 'UGGA BUGGA' at Amazon.com". It's hideous. I
went through the first 4 pages of search results and didn't find
anything. I guess I'm going to have to wait until I can get down to
Boston again and visit Chinatown.

Well, I guess they aren't as prominent as I thought, but here's some:

You are looking for "prawn chips" from what country?
While they may all be similar I can't imagine they'd all
be exactly the same.

The ones I've had have been Chinese. They look like little plastic bingo
chips. You drop them in some hot oil and they poof out into these
delicous, huge chips.

They really all are the same as far as ingredients - only the sizes
vary. Some contain more shrimp [flavor] than others. Some brands have
consistency issues - where one part of the chip doesn't expand properly
when frying, but those are inevitable and fairly rare.

Now I want some shrimp chips...

Yeah, swing on down and getsome! Only a couple hours I guess.. or maybe
you could have it shipped from the stores if you pay by credit card.
