KAU KAU GRILL

LUNCH AT THE OFFICE

Picked up a quick lunch while working from Kau Kau Grill.  Garlic Shrimp and Teriyaki Chicken.  Loved the super garlicky Shrimp but the Chicken was very dry and hard.  Might have been sitting a bit waiting for me to pick up though.

DINNER AT HOME

My Wife made this delicious dinner in minutes.  She just had to add some Pickled Onions because she just made them.  Didn't really go with the dish, but they were good.

DINNER AT HOME

We love Giovanni's Shrimp Truck but don't always want to drive to the North Shore to enjoy it.  My Wife spent two years perfecting a recipe and now we have Giovanni's Shrimp at home.  The big secret is to buy a lot of the Giovanni's Hot Sauce at the truck and bring it home.  When you have their sauce and this recipe its like being on the North Shore.

DINNER AT HOME

We love the Giovanni's Shrimp Truck on the North Shore of Oahu.  We always order the Shrimp Scampi with Hot Sauce on the side.  I tip big and ask for extra hot sauce to take home so we can use it with our homemade version.  My Wife spent over a year perfecting our recipe which tastes almost identical to the food truck.  She also makes the incredible Garlic Rice too.  When you have the real deal hot sauce at home its like being on the North Shore and eating at the truck without the drive.  This is truly one of our favorite dinners at home.

DINNER AT HOME

Took us years to duplicate the great Giovanni's Original Shrimp Truck recipe at home. Now my Wife has it down solid and we get to enjoy the taste of the North Shore at home.  The key to making this right is you must have the real Giovanni's Hot Sauce.  What I do is every time we visit the truck, I tip the cashier for extra hot sauce.  We keep it in the refrigerator and use it when we make this recipe.

This batch was made with fresh Kauai Shrimp that were so sweet.  A family favorite dinner!
Want everyone to enjoy this great shrimp recipe so here is our version of Giovanni's Shrimp;

My warehouse on Maui raves about the Tin Roof Maui which is a small hole in the wall that serves lunch only.  Place is always packed so we ordered online and picked up.  System works great with text messages that confirm your order and then tell you when it is ready.  I enjoyed the Garlic Shrimp which is served with Rice and Cabbage.  Shrimp was good but you really needed the Hot Sauce to kick this dish up a notch.  The Mochico Chicken got raves reviews from my co-workers too.

UPDATE: 10/19 went back and tried the Poke Bowl.  On this day it was terrible.  No seasoning or flavor and the fish was chewy.

DINNER AT HOME

Entire family absolutely loves our homemade version of Giovanni's Shrimp Truck.  This Garlic Shrimp is the bomb and must be served with the authentic Giovanni's Hot Sauce that you get at the truck on the North Shore of Oahu.  When we order the Shrimp Plate at the truck, I always give the cashier a big tip and ask for extra sauce.  We keep the sauce in the refrigerator and use it when we make Garlic Shrimp at home.  I am telling you, when you have the Hot Sauce this is as good or better than the truck!  Took us years to perfect the recipe.

LOVE Giovanni's Shrimp Truck on the North Shore of Oahu.  Cannot always get out there so we bribe the workers for extra hot sauce and keep it in the refrigerator.  My Wife has perfected the Garlic Shrimp recipe and when combined with the real deal Giovanni's Hot Sauce, we have our own Shrimp Truck at home.  Truly one of our favorite meals.

DINNER AT HOME

Garlic Shrimp and Rice is a family favorite dinner.  If you live or visit Hawaii, I highly recommend you make the drive to the North Shore of Oahu and eat a Shrimp Plate at the Giovanni's Food Truck.  This is a really good copy of their recipe and when you serve this up with the authentic Giovanni's Hot Sauce that you can buy at the market, you can enjoy the taste of the North Shore right in your own home.  The recipe is inexpensive and very easy.  My entire family loves this.  If you love Garlic and Shrimp, I guarantee you will too.  What makes this dish is the Spicy Giovanni's Hot Sauce.  You can purchase this sauce at most supermrkets on Oahu or pick it up online.
