Heat a large wok or pan on medium-high heat. Add enough oil to the pan so it’s 1-inch deep and wait until it becomes very hot. You’ll know it’s ready if you stick a chopstick or wooden spoon in the oil and it begins to bubble. You want the oil very hot, otherwise, the chips won’t expand.
In batches, add about 10 uncooked shrimp chips, being careful not to overcrowd the pan so the oil temperature doesn’t drop. It should only take a few seconds before they puff and expand.
Quickly remove the chips and transfer them to a wire rack or plate lined with paper towels. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Oil: Use oils with high smoke points, such as vegetable, avocado, or canola oil. Avoid oils such as olive oil that have low smoke points.
