In the island of Oahu, Hawaii, shrimp trucks are very famous. Having shrimp trucks around us is great since Pateet and I loves to eat seafood. One of our favorite shrimp trucks in Oahu, specifically in the North Shore, is GIOVANNI'S ORIGINAL WHITE SHRIMP TRUCK.
Pateet and I have different taste in food and perspective. I am more critical about the taste, the way its cooked and seasoned, presentation, portion, price and a lot more. On the other hand, Pateet will just eat the food as long as it looks good and the funny thing about her is that whenever we go to the same restaurant she will order the same thing and she'll never get tired of it.
If you're going to GIOVANNI's Shrimp Truck in Kahuku, here are some of my tips and comments:

- The best shrimp plate to order in this place is the Shrimp Scampi. The shrimp is marinated in lemon, butter, garlic, and olive oil. The shrimp scampi is mouthwatering and flavorful. Just like what my wife says every single time she eats it, "IT'S LIKE I'M IN HEAVEN!" The garlic rice with it really matches the shrimp scampi and its like everything you want in your shrimp plate is there.

- I ordered the Hot & Spicy Shrimp since I love spicy food. The shrimp in this plate is cooked in their very own hot sauce recipe. The shrimp plate was okay but I felt like the shrimp was just sautéed in hot sauce like siracha. I didn't really feel like the hot sauce was something special or is different. It didn't really matched the flavor that I'm looking for but the shrimp was spicy.

- The Lemon/Butter shrimp plate is different from the other two plates since the shrimp is boiled and steamed in their own lemon/butter sauce. When I ordered this shrimp plate the last time we went, it didn't really have much flavor. I was expecting that they have salted it enough but for me it was just plain. I was not really pleased with this shrimp plate.

So if you folks are going to come here in the Kahuku side, I would recommend that you try the Giovanni's Shrimp Scampi. THE SHRIMP SCAMPI IS BY FAR THE BEST SHRIMP SCAMPI I'VE EVER TASTED.
