To experience the renowned garlic shrimp, pull off Kamehameha Highway and order the garlic scampi at Giovanni's Shrimp Truck, a must-try in Hawaii.
As you approach the truck, the aroma of garlic, butter, and ocean breeze fills the air, drawing in crowds of locals and travelers. The picnic tables under the tents are crowded with people enjoying their shrimp and rice.
The food was simple, shrimp cooked just right, flavors bold and messy, but the memory stretched further.
Eating at Giovanni's feels like joining a ritual that belongs to the island and the truck itself. The air is filled with the scent of garlic, and the smell of butter-glossed shrimp shells is both sharp and comforting.
