Mr. Shrimp is a small South Florida fast-casual seafood chain with three locations, offering a cleaner, more modern take on the familiar “boil-in-a-bag and fried basket” formula. The space is bright and surprisingly polished with white tile walls, blond wood tables, and cheerful lighting; more design-forward than most Cajun seafood joints. A display case at the counter showcases the day’s (frozen) seafood selection — snow crab, shrimp, crawfish, and lobster tails — alongside signs for house-made sauces and banana pudding.

Service was quick, about five minutes from order to table. Rachel’s crab-and-shrimp combo arrived steaming hot and properly cooked, generously coated in a deep red-orange Cajun spice mix that looked great but hit hard on salt. The seasoning is heavy — a paprika-colored dusting laced with cayenne, garlic, and herbs, applied both in the boil and again on top. Crack a shell or lick your fingers and it’s an instant salt bomb. The crab itself was clean-tasting and stored correctly, free of freezer burn.

My fried shrimp platter looked picture-perfect (see photo): shrimp cooked properly with a crisp, non-greasy coating, though flavor-wise it wasn’t a “wow” fried shrimp by any means. Fries were solid, and the garlic bread a pleasant extra.

It’s a spotless, well-run local operation that clearly takes pride in presentation and efficiency. If you’re in Lighthouse Point and craving crab legs, it’s a safe, fast, and visually appealing stop. But with a dozen similar spots within fifteen minutes of Coral Springs, it’s more of a convenient local option than a...

1st visit (July 25): We have been craving sea food boil and were looking for a good place that had them. We heard about Mr. Shrimp Cajun Kitchen from friends so we gave it a try and boy was it delicious!

My mom and I took both kinds of boil in a bag to try both options. The portions were great as well. We finished with their beignet fries which were also to die for! We will definitely be coming back and recommending to family and friends!

2nd visit (August 14): We went back for one last boil to end our vacation. Unfortunately, the experience was not the same as the first. Service wasn't great. I had a lot less shrimp in my boil this time around. Also, someone either put too little spice last time or they overdid it this time because my mouth was on fire.

Seems like your experience depends on who's working the kitchen the day you go. There needs to be more consistency.

I'll probably give Mr. Shrimp another try next time I visit Florida. I'm curious to see which experience was the...
