About This Place

Located right along the picturesque Kamehameha Highway in Hauula, Hawaii, Shrimp Shack is a seafood lover’s paradise that masterfully balances bold flavors, fresh ingredients, and a casual, inviting dining atmosphere. Specializing in Hawaiian seafood dishes, Shrimp Shack draws both locals and travelers eager to indulge in some of the North Shore’s best shrimp fare—made all the more enjoyable by its alfresco dining options, including spots right across the street by the ocean for that authentic beachside experience.

The menu showcases a mouthwatering variety of shrimp dishes that will awaken your palate. From the garlicky, succulent Garlic Shrimp and its spicier sibling, the Spicy Garlic Shrimp (offered in mild, medium, hot, or lava heat levels to suit any spice aficionado), to the tantalizingly crispy Coconut Shrimp served with a sweet and tangy mango-honey dip, each bite embodies the fresh, vibrant flavors of Hawaii. Beyond shrimp, Seafood fans will find delights like the savory Crab Cakes with their signature homemade sauce, tender mussel and clam platters, and the indulgent Garlic Shrimp and Crab Legs Combo. Surf-and-turf lovers are also well catered for with dishes like the perfect Shrimp with Steak pairing that Isabel Sanchez praised for its tastiness.

Customers repeatedly rave about the perfectly cooked shrimp that peel effortlessly and explode with flavor. Alexandre Berenger sums it up best, describing the lava-level Spicy Garlic Shrimp as an addictive must-try for spice lovers. The restaurant’s food truck origins lend to its laid-back charm, drawing diners to enjoy authentic Hawaiian shrimp plates at picnic tables or right on the beach. The casual and friendly vibe here—from the warm, outgoing staff to the informal roadside setup—makes every visit feel personal and inviting. As Oliver Pe noted, the staff bring an infectious energy that complements the fresh and affordable menu, making any meal feel like a little celebration.

To refresh your palate after a flavorful feast, don’t miss their tropical floats—light, fruity concoctions like the Strawberry Guava, Pineapple Orange, and Passion Orange options offer a perfect sweet finish. And for those dining with children, there’s variety and flexibility with options that suit both young and mature taste buds alike, as Hannah Swanson remarked on when reminiscing about the mild shrimp plate their family enjoyed.

Whether you’re a seasoned seafood enthusiast or simply curious about authentic Hawaiian flavors, Shrimp Shack delivers a consistently delicious, unforgettable meal in an unbeatable open-air setting. Its fresh ingredients, rich flavors, and genuine aloha spirit make it a standout destination on the North Shore—one that will no doubt leave you dreaming of your next visit.

    May2025 North Shore's reputation for good food trucks definitely lives up to the hype here with a very varied, affordable and fresh menu. People running the food truck are very outgoing and friendly. The informal setup by the side of the highway or at the nearby beach gives you plenty of seating options while you enjoy your time dining. Even the slight rain couldn't dampen the day. A portable toilet and wash station is also available. Ideal for all types of dining as long as you are ready to eat al fresco A nearby cafe and a much beloved local community convenience store is also right next to the truck.

    10/10. Shrimp and steak and garlic rice was very tasty. Sat on the tables on the beach across the street. Wonderful Lunch.

    Let me tell you….. this is so much better than the bigger name truck up the road. We got the mild plate and I’m still dreaming about it. We devoured it ! They have food for kids and adults, breaded and bare shrimp. Big fat bonus is that you can eat it on the ocean across the street.

    Been going here for 3 months now and I go once a week at least. I’ve tried multiple shrimp places and Shrimp Shack is definitely number one. They cook their shrimp so perfect that peeling them just falls off. Their flavor on the spicy garlic shrimp is my favorite, I get the lava which I think is best if you can handle spice. Always the nicest people taking orders, idk their names, but I’m actually going today and will ask! Besides having the best Damn shrimp. You can eat on tables directly on the beach which is amazing, you sit eat some amazing spicy garlic shrimp & steak with a cold drink right on the beach. Hard to beat that!

    We happened apon this ABSOLUTE GEM of a food truck while exploring towards the North Shore in Oahu. The service was as amazing as the food. We got the VIP seating and what a view to go along with such wonderful food! Sorry I didn't get pic of the amazing staff/my thoughts are owners... You treated us as family and we felt that way. Sorry it took a month for this but I came home and hit the ground running.

    NY Strip and shrimp plate was excellent, and the price can't be beat. Tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned! The coconut shrimp were the best I've ever had. Grab a T-shirt from this iconic place. Can't wait to go back!

    Simple, yet delicious. They only take cash (there’s an ATM in the shop next to it, but it charges about a $4 commission). We had the garlic shrimp over rice — so simple, but so good! The shrimp were cooked perfectly, and the rice mixed with garlic butter was so aromatic and filling.
