The Shrimp Shack - Paco

I like the vibe of this place.  The walls which has that beach feel like made it pleasant to look at. Staff are accommodating to us when we dined here.  We had their Garlic Shrimp Scampi which tasted delicious.  The Surf and Turf was ok for me.  The meat tasted ok but not that memorable.

I love their surf and turf plate! But what I love the most are their shrimps, they have extra sauces of garlic and butter in your plate so you will have more flavor. Eaten here too many times, I've lost count! Prices are reasonable. I wouldnt mind paying extra as long as they serve quality food. Staff are okay.

It was a bit warm in the small place this branch at Rob Place Manila. The servers are there but it seems that no one with within easy reach within the area. As in we really wondered how we'd order. Since we're hungry, we bought the following: Appetizers: shrimp popcorn, shrimp heads Main course: shrimp scampi pasta (no pic, sorry), grilled glazed chicken rice meal, chili shrimp rice meal. Shrimp popcorn - the tempura style fried shrimps were very tasty paired with their mayo based sauce but the funny part is that the shrimps are actually lying over POPCORN. We expected shrimp balls like how we'd expect of chicken popcorn. But this is different. It lives up to its name. Shrimp heads -the best and the only one of its kind so far. Crunchy tasty but needs a bit spice to we put pepper over it and they're perfectly paired with vinegar. My hubby remarked that they literally have maximized the whole shrimp up to its head! Shrimp scampi pasta - this was my order. I was initially hesitant about the pasta but this is so far the best one of its kind. The pasta was nicely coated with garlic and even garlicky shrimps. The best. Grilled glazed chicken - too salty for our tastebuds... but my hubby enjoyed it. So better try it yourself. It reminds me of Aristocrat's bbq chicken but waaaaay saltier. Chili shrimp- it wasn't chili at all. So that's a tad disappointing for us chili lovers. We also ordered fruit shakes. I love their aloha shake - pineapple tidbits shaken with ice. Perfect for the prickly heat of summer. We also tasted their apple and mango shakes. Yum. But nothing too exceptional. Place - too warm Space - just right Service - struggle to reach out to servers Cleanliness - good Food - just about right, but do tweak a bit
