The Best Shrimp...

I've ever had in LA is at Mastros. Anyone disagree?

      The botan ebi at Urasawa, when in season. Best shrimp I've ever had, outside of Australia.

        I recently discovered the grilled shrimp at Baby Blues BBQ in Venice on Lincoln. They are delish. They are grilled with what I'm guessing is a spice rub, then drizzled with a little bit of what seems to be a spicy mayo and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. They are just amazing.

          Agree 100% -- Mastros shrimp are HUGE and so damn delicious.

              Best Deal on Shrimp......
              Tuesdays at Silky Sullivans in Fountain Valley.
              5 colossal shrimp (oxymoron) in the best homemade cocktail sauce... $4.98! 1/2 price appetizer night.... and they will let you eat shrimp cocktail until you have to roll yourself home

                The endless shrimp promotion currently going on at Red Lobster of course!

                Ok just foolin', but are you looking for a certain style in preparation? Steamed, fried, grilled, etc.

                  Santa Barbara Spot Prawn with Uni at Mori.

                  Technically different, but for eating purposes, tomato-tomato.

                    +1 for that dish. So delicious, with the roe still fresh and the shell dropped into a bit of red miso after.
