yaokui: Giovanni's Original White Shrimp Truck

Address: 83 Kamehameha Highway Kahuku, Hawaii

Phone: 808-293-1839

There are many shrimp trucks operating around Oahu Island, but Gan and I only go to this truck whenever we visit Hawaii, the Giovanni's Original White Shrimp Truck at North Shore. The truck is usually parked at the side of Kamehameha Highway in Kahuku and it serves a very simple menu: spicy, garlic, or lemon-and-butter shrimp. Gan and I have tried the spicy shrimp during our first trip to Oahu together, and it was the best darn shrimp dish we have eaten. During this recent trip, we arrived at the truck around 4pm (last order is at 6pm) and there was just Scampi left. But the Scampi was out-of-this-world as well, so we were just as happy! (Imagine big juicy shrimp with LOTS of garlic) Each plate cost around $12 and comes with 2 scoops of rice and 12 pieces of jumbo shrimp. Be sure to also check out the truck next to Giovanni’s for some pretty good non-alcoholic Pina Colada, which goes really well with the shrimp dish.
