The invitation I received from Ace of The Old Spaghetti House and Ross of Wazzup Pilipinas couldn’t have come at a better time, I was craving shrimp meal!
My fellow bloggers and I were about to try some real shrimps — ready to be tasted at Shrimp Shack restaurant branch in Pasay.
Shrimp Shack Starter
We started with the Shrimp Popcorn (₱260) — a combination of breaded shrimp and popcorn. While it looked great in photos, the taste didn’t quite leave a lasting impression.
Shrimp Shack Sandwich
The US Angus Cheese Burger (₱360) had a patty that could use some improvement. Despite this, I was happy with their thick fries!
Shrimp Shack Specialties
The buttery Shrimp Scampi Spaghetti (₱305) was delicious! Just a word of caution — the shrimps aren’t fully peeled, so don’t be surprised. After all, the restaurant’s tagline is:
“Suck. Peel. Eat.”
The sauce on the US Angus Burger Steak Loco Moco (₱340) was more flavorful, though the patty could be better grounded.
Shrimp Shack Dessert
The Butter Mud Pie (₱230) — a tempting, voluminous butter pie topped with chocolate crumbs and drizzled with rich chocolate sauce.
Final Thoughts
The staff of Shrimp Shack was friendly and accommodating. The serving portions are reasonable for the price.
Personally, I enjoyed the Butter Mud Pie, the Shrimp Scampi Spaghetti, and their well-blended Pineapple Iced Tea!
On a serious note, though, I initially expected them to offer a wider variety of shrimp dishes, given the restaurant’s name. However, they only serve shrimp in two ways — breaded and garlic-flavored. I know they’re still expanding their menu, so this shouldn’t be a big concern.
In the meantime, let’s just suck, peel, and eat! 😊
