Giovanni's is one of the better known of the breed known as "hawaiian shrimp truck".
They're easy to find when you're driving the North Shore. Sorta. They have a big sign.
There's something on it that makes it extra special!
No, I did NOT put that there!!
Giovanni's is comprised of two trucks, one making shrimp and the other making smoothies. There's a bunch of pick-a-nick tables and (I'm not kidding) a Kaiser Permanente across the street. Coincidence? I think not...
Just HOW spicy is that #2?
There's three items on the menu. Shrimp Scampi. Hot and spicy and Lemon Shrimp. You don't get a refund if the Hot and Spicy is too hot and spicy. You CAN order a half and half, which I didn't know about until I started eating.
Mmmmm, hot deveined shrimp!
I did get some of their hot sauce on the side. It's very hot and very Tabasco based. It was pretty hot dipping; imagine how burning hot it would be if you cooked da shrimp in it! Mmmmmm...
They have a cat too. And a chicken. The chicken eats the cat food too...
