Instructions
Step 1
Place shrimp and ginger in a food processor; purée until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and stir in tapioca flour, salt, and pepper. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into two 7-inch logs, about 2-inches–thick each.
Step 2
Boil 2 inches of water in an 8-qt. saucepan fitted with a steamer basket. Transfer shrimp rolls to the saucepan; cover and steam over medium-high heat until cooked, 15 minutes. Using tongs, remove shrimp rolls from steamer; chill completely until firm.
Step 3
Thinly slice shrimp chips, 1⁄8-inch–thick. Transfer to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and air dry 45 minutes.
Step 4
Heat 2 inches of canola oil in a 6-qt. saucepan until a deep-fry thermometer reaches 375°. Working in batches, cook chips until puffy, 2–3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels to drain. Serve immediately, or cool and store in an air-tight container for 1–2 days.
