I finally made it back to The Blue Shrimp http://www.blueshrimp.mx/ last night at their new location on Los Muertos Beach next door to Daiquiri Dicks. The location has always been a favorite of mine because of the massive Palapa roof and great ambience the place brings. Unfortunately a few predecessors have not survived this location, but Blue Shrimp has a following from their old location off of the Malecon that I am sure will follow. The new location seems to also provid them a lot more walk-by traffic as they were quite full last night.
Arriving about 20 minutes before sunset, it is a great location for the nightly event as we sat along the beach side railing overlooking the beach. I was pleased that the food was a good as it has always been, eventhough the pricing seem a bit higher. The service was a little inanttentive, but good and might have been due to a full restaurant. We enjoyed the fresh tender Calamari appetizer and then ordered three different shrimp dishes; Tequila, Coconut, and Portuguese (cheese stuff & bacon wrapped). The presentation was as great as it always was with the Coconut shrimp displayed on a tray with 1/2 a coconut filled with their awesome Green Goddess dipping sauce. The Portuguese Shrimp dish was also displayed with skewers stuck into 1/2 of a papaya and a little flaming tomato as a garnish! All entrees come with rice, vegetables, and of course their great salad bar.
If you like great shrimp with a menu that allows you to buy it by weight and size, Blue Shrimp is not to be missed!
