About Sexy Shrimp

The atmosphere is energetic without being rowdy. Portions are generous. Prices are fair for the Palm Beach location. Furthermore, it fills a real gap on the strip — a casual, value-friendly option that still puts real thought into the cooking.

What to Order at Sexy Shrimp

The coconut shrimp — crispy in a coconut-shred coating with a Thai-mayo dip — is the must-order starter. For example, the garlic butter shrimp and the shrimp tacos are both popular. The frozen rum punch is the right call on a hot evening.

Our verdict

The heart of the menu is the $32 shrimp-plate row — garlic, spicy garlic, Cajun and honey Cajun, all served with white rice and salad — and the menu flags the Sexy Garlic Shrimp as the local favorite for a reason. The cheapest good route is tacos and the smaller burgers at $16–$18, so a couple can eat well for under $40 before drinks, which is rare this close to the high-rise strip. The splurge is the grouper-and-jumbo-shrimp combo at $36 — still less than a steakhouse main nearby. The $14–$23 poke bowls and the noon opening also make it one of the few genuinely lunch-friendly sit-down stops on this stretch.

Tips for Your Visit
