Conveniently located along Fort Lauderdale’s Water Taxi Route (Stop #9), Shooters Waterfront captured us for a late lunch. Recommended (not hosted) by the PR company working for the Fort Lauderdale Convention and Visitors Bureau that arranged for our International Food Wine Travel Writers Association post-conference press trip, as well as the staff of the Water Taxi. Turns out 2022 is the 40th year they’ve been open, making it a local icon.
My first colleague ordered a shrimp Po’Boy. The shrimp are breaded and large, not in the New Orleans style with cornmeal, but with flour as you might see in chicken nuggets, with tomato and mint and served with thin, shoestring fries. She enjoys any kind of shellfish and thought the serving was too large piled atop a French baguette with a spicy remoulade.
My second colleague ordered coconut shrimp, large and deep fried, along with onion rings that she sent back because they were served with cheese (this was not found on the menu) and replaced promptly. After the first bite? “The shrimp are absolutely delicious.” The sauce, a mango jelly with chili, is yellow (not green as I thought viewing it from an angle that made me think it might be guava).
The mango jelly, sweet with a little tang to it, received a 10 out of 10 on the sauce taste scale.
I’m so glad I didn’t order this as an appetizer and then a meal… this is an entire meal.”
