Restaurant Review - Killer Shrimp!

My sweetheart took me to Killer Shrimp in Marina Del Ray Friday night.

There is only one item on the menu here, and it's the shrimp. (OK, if you want to split hairs, there are actually three items on the menu: shrimp with either bread, pasta, or rice. The recommendation is get the bread.)

So you sit down, and they give you some napkins and one of those "moist towelettes" that never seem to be large or moist enough. Then they bring you a huge bowl of simmering cajun-flavored broth and a bowl of sliced French bread. In the broth lies succulent shrimp in the shell.

The process is thus: soak up the broth with the bread and consume the bread. When you spy an elusive shrimp tail, retrieve it from the buttery broth and shell it (there's a plate for the refuse). Then devour the shrimp and repeat.

We didn't try any of the desserts (there are two: sweet potato pecan pie and chocolate cake) as I was gifted fudge before dinner.

I can't comment on the decor because we were seated outside. It was a nice night. :)
