The Famous Shrimp on a Stick in Las Vegas

Nicole Allen is the chef and owner of Nic’s Shrimp House, an up-and-coming food truck that offers southern style shrimp dishes all around Las Vegas. You might not associate Las Vegas with cajun inspired seafood, but Nicole has defied the expectations of the Las Vegas food truck scene by dishing out her 3-foot-long jumbo shrimp skewers, and other dishes that offer her original take on shrimp.

I love how he goes and talks with the customers while they wait, it would make me feel so welcomed. Also from a customer, I want to say it is the greatest when you get something that looks just as good/better than the pictures. That takes EFFORT and we thank you for that.

@jazzyjaz9108 Жыл бұрын

If you go out to eat anywhere you can make it all, especially if you're a cook, because what it's really about is the experience and if you're frugal person and you gotta spend your money, frugal ppl will always be negative about something but if someone else is paying then everything is great. Being frugal is good but sometimes you gotta let yourself enjoy things if not just stay home and cook.
