1. Introduction to Prawn Crackers
Table of Contents
Prawn Crackers (known in Vietnam as Bánh Phồng Tôm) are a world-famous snack originating from the coastal regions of the Mekong Delta, particularly Sa Dec. These crackers are crafted from a blend of fresh ground prawns, starch, and delicate seasoning. When deep-fried or microwaved, they expand instantly into light, airy, and incredibly crispy chips.
At Vinahugo, our Prawn Crackers stand out because of their high real-shrimp content. Unlike mass-produced versions that use artificial flavoring, our crackers deliver an authentic seafood umami that has made them a favorite in premium markets across Europe, Asia, and North America.
