Garlic Shrimp — North Shore

Overview

Giovanniʻs shrimp truck on Oʻahuʻs North Shore created the template: head-on shrimp sautéed in absurd amounts of butter and garlic, served over rice. This is the food truck dish that became a Hawaiian icon. The shrimp are shell-on, head-on, and swimming in garlic butter. You eat them with your hands, peeling the shells, sucking the heads, and mopping the garlic butter with rice.
