3. Stop By a Shrimp Truck
That’s SO delicious….
When you are in Haleiwa you must definitely try the amazing garlic shrimps at Giovanni’s. They started operating out of a converted 1953 bread truck without much more than a few recipes for great shrimp and an entrepreneurial spirit. They drove the truck around the North Shore stopping along the side of the road for a couple of hours at each stop to share what we thought was some pretty special food- turns out, they were the only shrimp truck around. Locals took notice and word began to spread about the delicious shrimp!
