Baked potato chip shrimp, potato chips make an irresistible crunchy coating without the messiness of deep frying.

Crisp potato chip crusted shrimp

Deep fried shrimp has been one of my favorite ways of eating shrimp. I remember going out to eat with my parents as a kid and my dad would always order the deep fried shrimp. He would always give me and my siblings a taste of those shrimp. I still can taste them… yummy!

Since I don’t have a deep fryer deep fried shrimp really is not something I can do at home. But, I do enjoy a crunchy coating on my shrimp that is where the potato chips come in on this recipe.

The nice thing about this recipe you can do parts of it ahead of time, so when you rush home from work, part of the prep work is done. Dinner will be on the table before you know it.Baked Potato Chip Shrimp

For the potato chips, I like to use my mini food processor to break them down into crumbs. You will want your potato chips to be fine. A mini food processor is a great tool for this. I like to do this the day before I make the shrimp, just make sure to keep the processed chips in a zip lock bag to keep them crunchy.

Cleaning the shrimp is another thing that can be done beforehand. Normally I like to do this in the morning before work. It is so nice to come home from work and have all that prep done beforehand.

For the baked potato chip shrimp it is best to make a workstation. The shrimp are dipped in flour, then egg wash, and then the crushed potato chips. What I like to do is make a line of these ingredients.  It makes everything a bit easier.

I have made this shrimp fried and baked, but I have to say that my favorite way is to bake them. They are great with a cocktail sauce or plain. A little time consuming, but the end result is worth it.

  • Add flour to another shallow bowl.
  • Beat the egg and water in another shallow bowl.

Notes

When spraying the cooling rack with the non-stick cooking spray place a sheet of aluminum foil under the cooling rack to collect the extra spray. Remove the foil before placing the shrimp in the oven.
Cooking time may vary with the size of shrimp that you use.

    I’ll fry in a deep pot like a Dutch oven, but it’s a messy business. Anyway, no need to fry these shrimp! They look terrific! Bet the flavor and the crunch is perfect. Thanks!
