Famous Giant Shrimp Restaurant?

[BLonde_4_ever]

Does anyone know of some restaurant (not sure which island) that is FAMOUS for GIANT shrimp?????:confused:

Not sure about GIANT shrimp. If it's famous shrimp though, it's probably the shrimp truck(s) on the North Shore of Oahu in Kahuku. Kahuku shrimp/prawns are famous in Hawaii - they're aquacultured there and these white trucks there will buy them and cook them up for you scampi (garlic) style, dripping with butter. Good stuff.

Spleen, are the shrimp trucks there all day? I was wondering if we could tour during the day and then drive out to the North Shore in the early evening to get shrimp for dinner.

 

Thanks, Nanners

Actually, I'm not sure if they're there during evening hours. Should definitely be there from lunch to late afternoon.
