There is no denying the fact that SunChips taste delicious. They are super crunchy and perfectly seasoned or salted. I love the original flavor but when I received the Sweet + Spicy BBQ SunChips to try, I had a new favorite.
Brady and I could have easily chowed through the bag but I wanted to do something fun with the chips too. I put some into a bowl for snacking and made the rest into a fun recipe!
I considered many things before deciding to make a SunChip crusted shrimp. I figured that the SunChips would add flavor and crunch, similar to panko.
The SunChips were easy to crush and baked well onto the shrimp! I highly recommend trying them for a fun appetizer next time you have company or at your next holiday party!
