Finely chop the dried shrimp using a knife or a mortar and pestle.
~2 min - 2
In a large bowl, combine the chopped dried shrimp, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, sugar, and black pepper. Mix well to create the seasoning blend.
~1 min - 3
Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat until it reaches approximately 350°F (175°C).
~5 min - 4
Carefully add wonton wrappers to the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
~4 min - 5
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried wonton wrappers from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
~1 min - 6
While the wrappers are still warm, immediately toss them in the prepared seasoning blend until evenly coated. You may need to do this in batches.
~1 min - 7
Let the seasoned crackers cool completely before serving.

Tips
- For an extra kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the seasoning mix. Adjust chili powder to your spice preference.
- Store cooled crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. They are best enjoyed fresh for optimal crispiness.
