Giovanni's Shrimp Truck

North Shore · Oahu

The OG North Shore shrimp truck that's been parked on Kamehameha Highway in Kahuku since 1993. The scampi is absolutely the move — 12 fat shell-on shrimp drowning in real garlic butter that'll have you licking the plate clean. The hot & spicy version brings legitimate heat, so grab those creamy sides to cool things down.

The graffiti-covered truck sits in a lot with picnic tables and free-roaming chickens, giving off those laid-back country vibes that make the North Shore special. Lines can get serious (especially when people order multiple plates), but it moves faster than it looks. This messy, garlicky experience is exactly why you drove all the way out here.

💡 Insider Tip

Always get the scampi over lemon butter — it's what they're famous for. Bring wet wipes and maybe grab a cold coconut from nearby stands. Weekday visits mean shorter waits.
