Jenny’s Shrimp Truck

Nestled along the stunning North Shore at 66-532 Kamehameha Hwy, Haleiwa, Jenny’s Shrimp Truck is a culinary gem that proudly serves up some of the most irresistible garlic shrimp dishes in Hawaii. This unassuming food truck has built a passionate following thanks to its bold, rich flavors and generous portions that keep locals and visitors coming back for more.

Jenny’s specializes in a variety of shrimp plates that showcase perfectly cooked, tender shrimp bathed in luscious buttery garlic sauces. Among the standout menu items are the Double Order of Butter Garlic Shrimp Plate, a decadent choice for those who crave the full buttery-garlic experience, and the delightfully crispy Coconut Shrimp, which Tony Thach raves about as being superior in taste and texture to other local competitors. For those who enjoy a kick of heat, the Spicy Garlic Shrimp Plate and Spicy Butter Shrimp are expertly balanced with just the right amount of spice to keep your taste buds dancing.

The shrimp are expertly cooked—succulent, juicy, and bursting with flavor, thanks to a secret blend of Cajun seasoning and rich garlic butter that feels like an indulgent hug with every bite. The shrimp’s buttery juices often seep into the bed of rice, amplifying the savoriness and making every forkful utterly addictive, as highlighted by Veronica Negrete’s heartfelt praise. The menu also touches on other enticing offerings such as Mofongo, Shrimp and Grits, and various shrimp flavor profiles like Salt Pepper Shrimp and Lemon Pepper Shrimp, reflecting a fusion of local Hawaiian flavors and international influences.

Jenny’s doesn’t just serve incredible food — the dining atmosphere is part of its charm. Unlike typical food trucks, Jenny’s offers a covered seating area right next to the truck, providing comfort and respite from the Hawaiian sun. Customers like Abhash Kumar Singh appreciate this thoughtful setup, which makes enjoying their flavorful plates all the more relaxing. While the parking situation can be a bit tricky due to nearby businesses’ strict policies, the lively crowd and pleasant service more than make up for it.
