Shrimp Chips

Directions

1. 1
   Bring water to a boil and dissolve salt and pepper powder. Pour boiling water onto the tapioca flour in a large mixing bowl and stir quickly with a cooking spoon.
2. 2
   Add in the shrimp and knead as a dough.
3. 3
   As the water content of the shrimp is unpredictable, you may adjust it by adding more boiling water.
4. 4
   The dough should be on the hard side.
5. 5
   Now shape into a cylinder about 1-inch in diameter.
6. 6
   If you do not have the proper steamer for this process, a bamboo rack or cake cooling rack will do.
7. 7
   Lay a cheesecloth underneath and on top of the dough and place it on the rack.
8. 8
   Make sure the cylinders of dough are far enough apart (at least 1 1/2-inches if space permits) to prevent them from sticking together.
9. 9
   Steam at a high temperature for 45 minutes.
10. 10
    Make sure there is plenty of water in the steamer to avoid having to open it to add more water.
