Never get tired of touring visitors to the North Shore.  On this day I had a visitor from Italy who had never been to Hawaii.  The itinerary was North Shore, Banzai Pipeline, Sunset Beach, Waimea Bay, Matsumoto Shave Ice, Giovanni's Shrimp Truck, Laie, Kaneohe and Uncle Woodys BBQ Corn.  Uncle Woody's is located behind the world famous Giovanni's Original Shrimp Truck in Kahuku.  The  corn is sweet, delicious and a great side to go with your Shrimp Plate from Giovanni's.  The corn is $3 and you can chose from a variety of flavor toppings.  I went for the more traditional corn with butter, sea salt, garlic salt and pepper.  My only complaint was that the corn was under seasoned.  Would have liked a more of everything on my piece.

A trip to Hawaii's North Shore is not complete without stopping at Giovanni's Original Shrimp Truck.  I have been going here for over a decade and still maintain it is a Taste of Hawaii Favorite.

While the truck remains the same, the exterior eating area has been spruced up big time.  The ground has been paved and there is a canopy over the seating area.  Heck, they even have running water and soap to wash your hands now.  Gone are the broken wood tables, uneven dirt floor and mud holes.  Like everything else in paradise, Giovanni's has gone commercial.  While the exterior has changed, the food and employees have stayed the same.  Local girls serve up the North Shore crustaceans with a no nonsense attitude.  It is all business here.  Get em in and get em out.  Cash only please.  A plate of Shrimp Scampi with two scoops of rice topped with garlic is now $13.  You can get the shrimp with Giovanni's famous hot sauce on the shrimp or on the side.  If you order the sauce on the shrimp there is a no refund policy because the sauce is very hot.  It is a really good hot filled with flavors that I love.  I always ask for extra sauce and take it home to put on our home cooked shrimp.  In my opinion the sauce makes the dish.  The shrimp is cooked in loads of garlic and lemon butter.  The hot sauce adds another dimension of flavor that is addicting.  I put the hot sauce on the garlic rice too.  Wow...I can taste and smell the grease now.  Wonderful!  My friend told me that the Garlic Dog was good so we tried one too.  This is a large hot dog cooked in the garlic butter and served on rice or in a bun.  We went for the bun.  I liked the dog but will stick with the shrimp when eating at Giovanni's.  Another thing I will always do is order the BBQ Kahuku Corn from the tent adjacent to the Giovanni's truck.  This Corn is GREAT!!!!  For $3 you get a piece of corn covered in spices and parmesan cheese that will blow your socks off.  Our table went silent for minutes as everyone devoured their corn.  When we came up for air, everyone just said "wow...that was great".  To end the meal we enjoyed a Strawberry and Banana Smoothie from yet another truck next to the Giovanni truck.  This was the ultimate North Shore meal and one that makes you feel "lucky to live Hawaii".  Check out more posts and the Giovanni's website:
