[drum-roll, please&...]
Wait! Before I expose you to the champion, just take the time to understand these special gems!
You know what? They taste better still compared to what they look !
Where could they be, you may well ask?
From Honolulu, have a increase to Oahu’s Northern Coast, and you'll eventually come across numerous Kahuku-style shrimp vendors Giovanni’s famous Shrimp Truck in the Kahuku food cart pod being the most known. (If you're able to’t view it for the signatures since the truck, you might be able to recognize it through the lengthy type of hungry vacationers stretching endlessly from this.)
Farther in the shoreline, you'll easily place the red Romy’s Kahuku Prawns and Shrimp shack, using its equally lengthy nightmare of the line.
Keep driving. (Just a couple of more minutes, I promise.)
Soon you will notice the ocean-blue sided shrimp stand of Fumi’s Shrimp Farm having a short line, lots of parking, plenty of covered picnic table seating, and AMAZING farm-fresh shrimp.
Fumi’s Shrimp Farm
Mr. B and that i both agreed this was most likely the very best shrimp we’ve ever eaten – and we’ve eaten lots of shrimp.
The very first time we came here (yes, I stated first. as with, we came here more often than once), I purchased the Spicy Garlic clove Shrimp. My plate included nine clean, fat prawns using the shells attached, and it was offered with two scoops of grain, a slice of fresh, cold pineapple, along with a small thrown salad. (The pineapple slice and salad provided a pleasant complement, but felt mostly just like a bow to social convention. I am talking about, you are able to’t really just serve a large plate of prawns and refer to it as a plate lunch, are you able to?)
My shrimp was bathed inside a buttery garlic clove sauce that introduced out its sweet notes without overpowering them, and also the bite was firm and tender. These were so perfect which i think I might have teared up just a little.
At $13 a plate, it was the best offer around the island, so far as I’m concerned.

Mr. B had the new Spicy Shrimp, as well as in his words, &"that buttery texture and also the sauce around the outdoors am good which i couldn’t help but suck from the juice before I peeled them .&" Getting attempted them myself, I will tell you that they are quite spicy, although not excessively so.
One factor both of us noted could be that the shrimp had an incredibly fresh flavor that you simply can’t receive from frozen shrimp. Taken from Fumi’s aquaculture farm out back, the shrimp we ate for supper have been scuttling around just moments before we showed up. (I've it on relatively good authority that very same can't be stated of all of the shrimp across the Northern Coast, because it comes down in the Costco freezer situation in Honolulu.)
The covered picnic are in Fumi’s offers a great deal to see when you eat.
Finally, should you’ve read me for just about any period of time, you might realize that I usually browse the rest room in the places I review. If there's absolutely nothing to note, I don’t, however in this situation, there's.
Powder Room Review. We stopped here following a lengthy day's kayaking, and were thrilled to discover that Fumi’s had not just a cleaning station where one can wash up after consuming individuals luscious crustaceans, but additionally a sizable, clean rest room that is ideal for altering.
The only real downside of eating shrimp at Fumi’s is it leaves you wanting more. And much more. And much more.
I’m hopeful that at some point I can produce a passable copycat recipe. Listed here are a couple of jumping off points:

Because all of us actually want to know the most effective recipe to make these bad boys in your own home. Thanks a lot!
