People will argue about their favorite garlic shrimp spot on Oahu’s North Shore, but Romy’s is unique, since its kitchen and dining area sit right next to its shrimp ponds. Every plate is cooked to order, and there is a long and constant line, so it can take about an hour for diners to get their food. The wait’s worth it, though, as the shrimps and prawns are super-fresh and the butter-garlic sauce is a pungent revelation. Whether you order them regular or spicy, try to sit near one of the sinks so you can easily wash your hands after peeling and eating all that messy, garlicky goodness.
