AMAZING
1st MINCED SHRIMP ON SUGAR CANE SKEWERS
Travaasa Hana, Maui, Hana
These tasty minced shrimp skewers came with a side of sweet cucumber mint dip. Great idea conceptually, but it sounded a little bit better than it actually was. Loved the sugar cane skewers, which infused each bite with local flavor sweetness... and were darn cute!
2nd STEAMED SHRIMP
Chesapeake Landing, Saint Michaels
Hot and spicy. Half a pound. Heaven on a plate. What else is there to say? Well apart from them being wonderful, fresh, meaty and taaaaaasty!!!
REALLY GOOD
3rd GRILLED SHRIMPS
Restaurante La Fonda, Pájara
Sadly these were a bit overdone, but the flavor was very fresh. Lovely presentation as with all the other dishes... this kitchen really cared about what they were doing.
4th FRIED JUMBO SHRIMP PLATTER WITH COLE SLAW AND FRENCH FRIES
Eagle Cafe, San Francisco
nobody can stand on one fried platter. An order or fried shrimp went down smooooothly with the onion rings. Good bye US of A, bye dearest CA, we had a GREAT time - hello Bavaria, we really missed you.
5th THAI COCONUT SHRIMP
Pacific Catch, Campbell
Mrs. C (and guest of honor on Mommy's day) started with the coconut shrimp - and very pleased she did! Huge succulent shrimps with a perfect coating of coconut batter... YUM!
6th COCONUT CRUNCHY SHRIMP
Chart House, Alexandria
Why we came - the coconut shrimp the Missus wanted. And as good as she remembered (she has been a chart house card holder - as she was coming for coconut shrimp (crack) on a regular basis. This was the starter size
7th SHRIMP SWEET & SOUR
Tai Ping China Restaurant, Bad Aibling
Sauce on the side- that keeps the crisp on :-)
8th SHRIMP SKEWERS WITH RICE
Mamajuana Bodega Colonial, Bad Aibling
#SCHTIICK!!!! with shrimp. on a bed of herbed rice, a nice little ginger coconut sauce and a grilled banana. good solid food. though not a revelation.
NOT FOR ME
9th TARTARA DI GAMBERINI ROSSI SICILIANI AI BERGAMOTTO CON AVOCADO, ARANCE E SALSA AI CETERIOLO
Latium, London
Wow... even for the Avo h8r this sound delicious - Sicilian red prawn tartare, with bergamot, avocado blood orange and cucumber. Sadly - the dish didn't deliver. The tartar was too bland, the bergamot not there. Great idea but goes to show, when the name of the dish is barely fitting the "What is it" for FS... RED FLAG!
10th ASIAN SHRIMP SALAD
Royal Lahaina Resort, Lahaina
Great idea.... bland execution. Thank heavens for the next spot to spice things up!
11th SHRIMPER'S HEAVEN
Bubba Gump Shrimp Co., Lahaina
The menu said: Hand Breaded Coconut Shrimp, Chilly Shrimp, Fried Shrimp, and Japanese style Tempura Shrimp with Fries. And of course great Dippin’ Sauces. mrs Carastian says: ok Coconut shrimp ok fried shrimp - for the chilly shrimp you want to sent Forrest back to Nam on a suicide mission.
12th FRIED SHRIMP
Choptank Riverboat Co, Hurlock
They were ok but the breeding tasted like they didn't hit the right temperature. We were glad we just ordered two and not a whole order
13th GAMBAS AL AJILLO
ROBINSON Club Esquinzo Playa, Esquinzo
SPOILER ALERT - better shrimp spotting to come in the future!!! These here were quite average and overcooked.
