North Shore Shrimp Trucks

North Shore Shrimp Trucks is a common term on the island of O'ahu in Hawai'i for a group of individually owned and operated trucks that sell mostly local, fresh shrimp along the island's north shore. Most of the trucks are located near the town of Kahuku, but these trucks can be found along the entire stretch of Kamehameha Highway from Hale'iwa Town to Kualoa Ranch.
In 1993, Giovanni's (now Giovanni's Original White Shrimp Truck) started serving shrimp from a truck on the north shore. When it opened, the north shore was a sleepy place with wide expanses of beach that were little known outside of the surfing world. Over the years tourism along the north shore increased as did housing, enough to support an ever increasing number of shrimp trucks. Among those is operation today, in alphabetical order, are Blue Water Shrimp, Famous Kahuku Shrimpt Truck, Fumi's Kahuku Shrimp and Seafood, Giovanni's Original White Shrimp Truck, Macky's Kahuku Sweet Shrimp, Romy's Kahuku Prawns and Shrimp Hut and The Shrimp Shack.
Each truck has a unique style and flavor but most serve both the basic garlic & butter and the hot and spciy shrimp along with their individual specialties. The servings are typically done Hawaiian plate lunch style, meaning served with rice and/or macaroni salad.
