I used to order it with an old boyfriend and he'd go pick it up. That was nearly 15 years ago....I still remember that shrimp and the sauce with the bread for dipping!! My mouth is SO watering! Anyway....I miss that shrimp more then the old boyfriend... and he was FINE! I never actually ate there BECAUSE it was ALWAYS PACKED. I used to order it with an old boyfriend and he’d go pick it up.

Where they served 3 things on the menu: shrimp w/bread, shrimp w/rice & shrimp w/pasta *lol*...well, ok, make that 5 things; they also served beer and a tasty sweet potato/pecan pie. Their shrimp would be served in giant bowls of the most divine, rich (almost as fatty as it was flavorful), addictive spicy broth. When served with bread, it was so perfect for mopping up the sauce, you'd never bother to remember to ask for a spoon. I also loved that I could ask for the shrimp unpeeled (that's how I like it). The inside of the joint sure screamed "dive" however *lol*. It was as dark as a nightclub, but without all the fun and atmosphere *lol* The minimal decor and lack of atmosphere made the long wait for our order that much longer. The muddled music was blaring on a stereo so busted it sounded like the speakers were kicked over and faced the floor *lol* But the shrimp! Oh, the shrimp!!! What I wouldn't give for the recipe....and although this is close, this isn't it. For one thing, I know for certain they use beer...And though their broth is deliciously rich, they DON'T use THAT much butter! I would love to have the recipe, maybe I could tweak it by adding additional seafood (scallops, etc.)...make myself a cajun version of tom yum soup *lol* which is what killer shrimp's creation kind of already is. Rest in peace, killer shrimp...Your closure is a loss to me and the world. Your recipe was a gift from the heavens and my taste buds will never be the same. I'll be pouring out a 40 on the curb for ya *LOL* This is her “creation” of an imitation of the original recipe for Killer Shrimp, a (now defunct) restaurant in So Cal.
