Drive Kamehameha Highway past Kahuku and the smell of garlic butter finds you before the trucks do. The shrimp-truck plate is simple on purpose: shell-on shrimp sautéed in an absurd amount of garlic butter, dumped over two scoops of rice so the rice catches every drop.
Shell-on is traditional — the shells protect the shrimp and flavor the butter — but peeled works if you can't face the mess. You'll be missing part of the experience, though.
