Shree-ahmp!

 Driving to the North Shore is considered something of an event. Even if we make the trip more than once in a week. The North Shore is special.During the winter a trip to the North Shore can provide hours of wave watching. Giants that roll in and break in barrels the size of a two story house. On a spring day, we will make the hour and a half drive to tail gate at a polo match or to hike Kaena Point. On this day we were headed to Puaena Point to do some sea turtle spotting. Our friends from NJ were visiting and said that if they saw a sea turtle, they would move here. So, North we go! However, as you might have guessed, we needed to be fortified(gastronomically speaking) for this mission.

 Let us stop for shrimp on the way... 

 

Fumi's shrimp to be precise. Why Fumi's? Honestly, out of the kajillion or so shrimp trucks along the Kamehameha Hwy, Fumi's has the nicest view and the prettiest shack! Such a cute wash up station too!

With the shrimp ponds right behind the kitchen, I can't imagine the little pink critters on my plate could get any fresher. Stir fried in Siracha spicy garlic sauce with a side of sticky rice and a minuscule green salad(salad? Who needs salad? We are here for the shrimp.)

 If you need a cool down after the spicy garlic shrimp, Fumi's has thoughtfully provided a shave ice shack as well.

Oh and guess how many turtles we saw? I counted 11. 

I would like to say a warm welcome to our soon to be neighbors, Neil and Christine!
