Shrimp Trucks - A Must Try on Oahu’ North Shore
Oahu’s windward coast offers an authentic local experience. North Shore Shrimp Trucks is a common term on O’ahu island in Hawaii for a group of individually owned and operated trucks that sell local, fresh shrimp. Most of the Shrimp Trucks can be found near the town of Kahuku, others are located along the Kamehameha Highway.
Visitors often make a pit stop at one of several shrimp trucks parked alongside Kamehameha Highway on their trip to O’ahu North Shore. The history of Shrimp Trucks O’ahu began in 1993 when Giovanni’s (now Giovanni’s Original White Shrimp Truck) started serving shrimp from a restaurant on wheels. Visitors can still order from Giovanni’s today. As the tourism and residential population rocketed along the North Shore, other trucks started to sell the fresh shrimp.
Each shrimp truck on the North Shore has a unique style and delight but most of them serve the basic garlic & butter and the hot & spicy shrimp. Each serving is typically done in Hawaiian plate lunch style, with rice and macaroni salad. There is plenty of free parking around the area with tables under the tree for dining and outside wash-up stations.
