How to eat shrimp

We ate at a couple different outdoor shrimp eateries. This one here is The Shrimp Shack, on the Kamehameha Highway in Punalu'u.

You can't miss the yellow van!

All these places serve the shrimp very fresh. Some of them have shrimp ponds right next to them where they go and scoop up your order and cook it right away (yikes!).

And -- something Tom and I weren't used to dealing with -- the shrimp is served with the shells still on. The sauce is poured all over them, too, which means that eating is a messy business (all the shrimp vans have sinks with soap nearby, thankfully!).

We weren't exactly sure the best way to eat shrimp served this way. Luckily, the Shrimp Shack helped us out.


So now you know!
