Romy's Kahuku Prawns & Shrimp Description

Traveling down the North Shore along the Kamehameha Highway you'll spot numerous shrimp trucks and shave-ice stops that look like they've been painted by circus clowns. Romy's Kahuku Prawns & Shrimp, housed in a bright-red building (not a truck), sits among them and offers up shrimp they've raised and cooked themselves. Let the kids dive in hands first as they learn how to peel the succulent shrimp.

Planning Notes

  • Clean up. Make sure to grab plenty of napkins; these snacks are messy!
  • Take it easy. At Romy's, you'll spot a small sign in the window that says, "This is not fast food; it is good food, as fast as we can make it." Remember that things are laid back in Hawaii. Being in a hurry will only frustrate you and your servers.
  • Also try Giovanni's. A great choice if Romy's is just too swamped, these folks have been dishing their hot and spicy shrimp for 15 years.
  • Get shave ice afterwards. Hawaii's version of a snow cone is sold at Matsumoto's Shave Ice or Aoki's Shave Ice, both in Haleiwa. Ask for ice cream on the bottom.

Reviews of Romy's Kahuku Prawns & Shrimp

Yummy!!

By pagelafam August 10, 2010

Ive been home from vacation for about a week and a half, and all I can think about is ROMYS shrimp. We vacationed all parts of Oahu and Maui, but in the 2 weeks we were in Hawaii nothing compared to the shrimp and fish we ate on North Shore. Ive worked in the restaurant business for 20 years& So my palate is designed to recognize quality, freshness, and a great recipe& and I will say I found that all with just one shrimp stand, being inquisitive as I am, I found that the freshness comes from Romy being the only farmer on the island; their entire product served was harvested that day&. You can taste this in every bite! My family all ordered different plates and we all shared with one another& when we went back the next day, the line was longer& because obviously everyone on the island knows the best place to eat!! Every minute waited was worth every bite& Thank you Romy for growing, harvesting, cooking, and serving every plate with pride& My family appreciated the great food!!! Read More
