Aren't prawn crackers crackers? I mean, aren't they square like crackers?

These rice chips are perfectly flat--like large, translucent tiddly-winks. But when they hit the oil, their shape completely changes into unusual, neary amorphic puffs--like puffy clouds about the size of a kiwi fruit or perhaps a little smaller. They are loaded with oil once puffed--very greasy. But the flavor is nice--and, yes, I can imagine some kind of shrimp flavor has been added in the processing.
