Original: the classic starting point
MARCO POLO Original Shrimp Chips keep the experience simple: savory shrimp flavor and a crisp, airy texture. This is the easiest place to begin if you are new to shrimp chips or want the flavor of the snack itself to remain the focus.
Original works well straight from the bag, in a party bowl, or beside a dipping sauce. It also gives you a useful baseline before trying the more seasoned varieties.
Onion & Garlic: warm and aromatic
MARCO POLO Onion & Garlic Shrimp Chips add a warm, familiar seasoning profile to the savory snack base. Choose this flavor when you want more personality than Original without moving toward cheese or barbecue.
The onion-and-garlic direction fits casual meals and snack boards. Serve the chips with sandwiches, fried rice, noodles, soup, or other savory bites. They can also stand on their own during an office break or movie night.
BBQ: smoky, savory, and a little sweet
MARCO POLO BBQ Shrimp Chips combine shrimp-chip savoriness with the sweet-smoky character of barbecue-style seasoning. This is one of the bolder choices in the lineup.
Pick BBQ when you like flavored chips that make a stronger impression. The seasoning works naturally with burgers, grilled foods, sandwiches, or a snack tray with pickles and fresh vegetables.
Sour Cream & Onion: creamy and tangy
MARCO POLO Sour Cream & Onion Shrimp Chips pair seafood-inspired savoriness with creamy tang and onion seasoning. The flavor feels familiar to anyone who already enjoys sour cream and onion chips, while the airy shrimp-chip texture makes the experience different from a standard potato chip.
Choose this bag for lunch sides, game-day spreads, movie nights, or a snack bowl that needs an approachable flavored option. It can also pair with spicy sauces when you want contrast.
Cheese: familiar comfort with a shrimp-chip twist
MARCO POLO Cheese Shrimp Chips bring a creamy, salty cheese note to the light and crispy snack. It is a comfortable choice for shoppers who enjoy cheese-flavored chips and want to try that flavor on a seafood-inspired base.
Cheese works well for family snack bowls, road trips, lunch boxes, and casual get-togethers. Pair it with a dip, spicy sauce, or fresh vegetables for an easy party tray.

Try all five flavors in one variety pack
The MARCO POLO Five-Flavor Shrimp Chips Mix includes one 2.5 oz bag of each flavor: Original, Onion & Garlic, BBQ, Sour Cream & Onion, and Cheese.
This is the simplest option when you want to compare the full lineup without choosing several separate multipacks. Keep the bags sealed until you are ready to serve them, place the flavor names where guests can see them, and let everyone choose a favorite.
A second three-flavor mix is also available with Sour Cream & Onion, BBQ, and Cheese. Choose that pack when you want only the bolder seasoned options.
Pick the right pack size
The individual flavors are offered in Pack of 3, Pack of 6, and Pack of 24 options. The right quantity depends on how you plan to snack.
- Pack of 3: a practical size for trying one flavor or keeping a small supply.
- Pack of 6: useful for family sharing or repeat snack breaks.
- Pack of 24: suited to events, office stocking, larger households, or frequent snackers.
Variety packs are better when flavor choice matters more than quantity. Individual multipacks are better once you know which seasoning you want to keep on hand.
