killer shrimp

killer shrimp is a really tasty place! greatserviceand food!. we ordered the seafood platter, lobster tail tortellini and seafood paella. the seafood was cooked by someone who had a good knowledge of the ocean and the view outdoors was stunning! only problem was the price was a little high. really recommend this place.

fantastic meal with shyla mani. outstandingserviceby martin, great wine selection, superb location & seating, before we even got to the truly awesome food. the seafood platter for 2 disappeared in seconds, the oysters were spot-on fresh & delicious....and then came the best paella i've had in years! loads of clams, squid, fish, shrimp and mussels, with andouille sausage providing some solid bass notes. gorgeous saffron notes and beautifully piquant.
i'm coming back!!

the penultimate week of my short but memorable trip to california, was spent in the city of angels- los angeles. on the second day of our stay at la, we headed to hollywood blvd and boarded the hop-on-hop-off bus with the intention of discovering the larger part of this beautiful city.
an hour later, we got down at venice beach- ah! the sun, the sand and in contrast the super chilly water, it was a blissful experience and we (herwin abhilash kandoth) tried walking along the vast stretch of the beach but grew tired and most of all- hungry. we started looking out for a place to eat and read about this restaurant at marina del rey- killer shrimp (sounded really interesting).

we took an uber cab and it was about a 10 min drive to this place and you cannot miss the big red board. killer shrimp looks pretty simple from the outside but once you enter and head towards the outdoor section, the view was incredibly beautiful.

we were seated on a table for two with a panoramic view of the marina del rey (believe me it doesn't get any romantic than this)- wow! i really don't have to mention about the servers or theservicein the us- its highly unlikely that you will have a bad experience..

we had cocktails- i had a long island ice tea and herwin had a cosmopolitan- both were refreshing after the long walk that we had.

as far as i remember we order fried calamari as an appetizer and loved it. for entree, we tried the mac and cheese, with prawns- now this was the first time i had the former with anything else but chicken. it was also good, cheesy and the portion was very filling.
but killer shrimp's specialty is a certain preparation of prawns- said to be cooked for a long duration with subtle spices and at the same time ensuring the flavor of the prawns were intact. they serve it in a big bowl filled with the multiple-spiced broth and fresh prawns, with fresh baked bread on the side. it was good but a little bland for my taste buds, but then again i couldn't expect it to be spicy as my home cuisine.

to me, killer shrimp is a place for decent sea- food, a place to chill out with friends over cocktails/mocktails with a stunning view of the world's largest man-made small craft harbor.

things were out of control here tonight. the food was delivered in the following order: first the main entree; second the side salad; third the appetizer; fourth the drinks; and lastly the silverware. i'm serious. the food was excellent. this is the first time i have eaten here so i hope they were just severely short on help. had theservicebeen average i would have rated the restaurant much higher because the food was quite good.

very poorserviceand management. great location...food was ok. the chef works his tail off (no pun intended) only to have the waitstaff screw up his reputation. we were a group of 7, locals who would have been regulars - but we were so poorly treated that i don't think we will be back until this place turns into something else.

we waited over an hour for our bill, only to find out our waitress had actually quit. we piled gobs of money on the table and just left...they actually had a staff person run us down saying we shorted them $20!

we never saw our bill...yet they felt of the hundreds of dollars we left on the table to have one drink in a three hour period, warranted harassing us in the parking lot for a $20? i don't think this place is gonna last long.
