Kauaʻi Shrimp Croquettes
Kauaʻi Shrimp are Pacific Whiteleg shrimp, and are sustainably-farmed in West Kauaʻi using no chemicals or antibiotics. The Kauaʻi Shrimp farm, which spans 258 acres in West Kauaʻi, is the 3rd largest shrimp breeder in the world. They turned fallow, old sugar cane fields into 40 1-acre ponds filled with 100% well-sourced salt water to grow a sustainable food source for the islands and beyond.
All Kauaʻi Shrimp are sold whole, head-on, and are shipped out the day of harvest, so the quality is excellent.
Originally a famine food that incorporated leftover meats, croquettes originated in France, but countries around the world have created their own variations (the Japanese korokke is very popular locally).
Derived from the word croquer, which means "to crunch," croquettes undoubtedly have that appealing crunch that perfectly complements the savory, soft filling.
Our Kaua‘i Shrimp Croquette with a Coconut Thai Curry was inspired by the local fave Chicken Katsu Curry and Chef's favorite bite — of the curry and potato with the crunch of the katsu.
