  • All-shrimp food trucks are popular lunch destinations in Oahu's North Shore, but none top the island fame (and proliferation of graffiti) of Giovanni's. Host Lucas Peterson stops by to see what all the fuss is about.

    This food truck changed my life as a 10 year old. It is the single best shrimp I've had in my life and the highlight of my visit to Hawaii.

    Anyway, like I was sayin', shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That- that's about it.

    I actually enjoy just crunching on the shells and tail without peeling shrimp (unless they are huge). It has so much flavor and adds a crispy texture especially if the shrimp are fried. Don't be afraid! They should be cleaned already though along the back.

      @yaboifet9058 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      i have tried it many times, it is really good. I like it especially when there is not much mozzarella on the pizza, and the prosciutto is cut thick and is a bit dry. I think the goal is to have the pineapple be the juiciest thing on the pizza. If the thing is floating on sauce or cheese i can see it tasting bad. Maybe thats how some people got the bad experience. I can control this however since i either make the pizza myself, or i order it from a good restaurant that know what they are doing, i dont really mind the price since i only order for special occasions.

    • @yaboifet9058
      @yaboifet9058 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Leo Lujan again, many people might have tried it and not liked it. Everyone has their own taste. Yes there are people who just jump on the bandwaggon and think they are cool because they share this sentiment, even if the never tried the food, but after all, its the internet. Everyone here has a phd in something and an uncle at the nsa, also countless experiences.

  • @LegendoftheGalacticHero

    I like how they serve a simple option with just lemon and butter even though the scampi ones with loads of fried garlic would be my thing. In Spain we eat them with a bit more oil, garlic and chili. Eat the sweet and spicy shrimps. Dip bread on delicious garlicky spicy oil. Nomnomnom

  • @MaureenKo1
    @MaureenKo1 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    I was born in the 50s We ate out of food trucks since I was a baby. Depending on whether or not we wanted spaghetti or stew, we would frequent certain trucks mostly at the beach where they fed hungry, cold surfers primarily. Because of government restrictions, their popularity waned for years but new trucks equipped to cook fresh food with refrigeration made a comeback by the 90s. Not very popular in Hawaii? Sorry, we probably were eating out of food trucks first. But what I will tell you is that Giovanni's is most definitely the first of all the shrimp trucks on the North Shore. I used to go to them since the 70s when they were the one and only shrimp truck around. There was no eating space, just some sand, grass and a garbage can. Now, it's a commercial hub of activity. But the shrimp has remained the same. Good, garlicky, fresh and made to order even through a change in ownership.

    • @MaureenKo1
      @MaureenKo1 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      The popularity grew from Giovanni's because there are now several shrimp and prawn farms nearby. You can buy fresh shrimp by the pound. I used to buy bags of fresh, live prawn and take them home to cook. As we say here on Oahu, bus da mout! (Will bust your mouth!) I've tried all the trucks and they LOVE to say they are the original. I'm an old bag. Trust me, I've taken family and friends there for years. Giovanni's was the first and GIOVANNI'S IS KING.
