Killer Cafe

Southern traditions, LA-style.
In the Lowcountry of South Carolina, shrimp and grits has been considered a breakfast staple for coastal fishermen and families for decades. This dish consisted of a pot of grits with shrimp, cooked in a little bacon grease or butter. During the shrimp season, a Southerner’s taste for eating shrimp and grits was a religion, as breakfast without grits was unimaginable. In the spirit of offering traditional family recipes, Killer Cafe has brought the flavors of the South to the Beaches of the Southwest. Their own version of the traditional southern “breakfast shrimp” has been lovingly renamed Killer Shrimp and Grits, and has been dressed up with it’s own signature broth for those who crave the taste of ”down home” cooking. Blending the roots of Southern tradition with a familiar signature touch, Killer Shrimp and Grits have quickly become a town favorite and a rare Southern treat customers are falling in love with. Killer Shrimp and Grits has star status at birth, adorned with parent restaurant Killer Shrimp’s famous broth and tenderly sauteed shrimp. The perfectly prepared hominy grits are smooth in texture and rich with flavor, and make for an incredible base for the spicy dish. “Our customers are looking for familliar flavors and the comforts of home,” says Kevin Michaels, Killer Cafe creator. “Our Killer Shrimp broth makes that happen and our customers are loving it.”

Yelp Reviewer Ali S. says, “Boom! Went back again for another round of breakfast this weekend and wifey ordered the shrimp and grits (again). Guess what? They got the grits worked up real good…” (see review here). Reviewer Vincent I. said, “(Breakfast) Sunday am was a real treat. Great view, super server staff. Friendly smile at 9.30 am makes the day go better. Shrimp and grits is the way to start the day.” (see review here). Killer Cafe is located in Marina Del Rey adjacent Killer Shrimp Restaurant and Bar. Hours of operation are 7am-1pm weekdays and 7am-2pm weekends.

The Original Killer Shrimp

While fans line up night after night to enjoy our signature Killer Shrimp dish, we realized that many of them are our Original Fans from our Washington Blvd and Valley locations from back in the eighties.

In the spirit of honoring our original Killer Shrimp Fans, we are honored to make Original Mondays a standard practice. We offer the Original Killer Shrimp every Monday at the original price of $9.95 all day (in the Bar only).

The Original Killer Shrimp Roll…already famous at birth

killershrimp — Tue, 20 Mar 2012 02:41:46 +0000

Many of you have relished Killer Shrimp as a nostalgic favorite, caught in a long-term codependent relationship with the thing that you crave. Its so spicy that it opens you up and makes you feel alive! You’re not alone.

The Original Killer Shrimp has a long history of making people tear up while gasping in short and fiery spurts of passion. Those who embrace the piping hot spicy goodness of our signature broth are brought to cries of, “I MISSED THIS STUFF SO MUCH!”. We are proud to say we make grown men cry.

Killer Shrimp is back and better than ever. I have never seen anything like the following we’ve experienced with this brand. Its been nothing but a big love-fest of support and admiration. People actually drove across state lines for closing night of our old location three years ago. Now that we’re open again, we’re serving up dozens of daily bowls of the Original Killer Shrimp with fluffy french bread for dipping. People are loving this stuff so much that they drive over an hour, then wait for a table for nearly as long to once again indulge in the spicy sauce they’ve waited years to enjoy. Upon this writing, a restaurant owner 23 miles away BEGGED me to bring them takeout, having realized that Killer Shrimp has resurrected. Amazing.

But you can’t blame ‘em, right? …the succulent shrimp, the fluffy bread, the spice profile and the mystery broth folks try to duplicate at home. You can’t beat it. But then we got to thinking, how COULD we beat it? How could we blow people’s minds with something new? Really take this thing they love and improve on it? The powers that be at Killer Shrimp got to thinkin’, Facebook Fans got to suggestin’ …and our baby was born.

Introducing The Original Killer Shrimp Roll with Original Killer Shrimp au jus for dipping! We sautee our sweet and tender shrimp in our famous sauce, place it into a tender french roll and serve it with savory sweet potato fries for a combination of sweet, spicy and salty that just might throw you off of your Original Killer Shrimp addiction. The whole thing gets dunked into our OG Killer Shrimp sauce, like a traditional dipping au jus. Its a joyful experience.

At $12 per entree, portions are generous and filling. Order The Original Killer Shrimp Roll for lunch or dig in for dinner, we don’t care…its perfect for both. Just get in here and taste the ultimate love child created by our Original Killer Shrimp and that fluffy french bread…with all that dunking, it was bound to happen! A huge thank you to all our Facebook Fans who encouraged us to bring back a seafood sandwich…you asked for what you wanted and we delivered. Stay tuned for more exciting entrees from Killer Shrimp Restaurant and Bar.

Killer Shrimp Sweet Potato Pie

With Thanksgiving quickly approaching, our loyal fans must come to grips with missing us for one day of rest. Although we’ll be closed for this holiday of thanks and giving, you can still take Killer Shrimp home for the holidays. When it comes right down to it, Thanksgiving is judged for two things…1. Was the turkey moist or dry as a dog treat and 2. Was the pie inedible or unforgettable? While we would give you the turkey off our back if we could, we CAN serve up the most unforgettably moist and tender Sweet Potato Pecan Pie with crunchy Pecans drizzled in gooey caramalized love, cradled in a crust only Grandma could curse. Nevermind that our accompanying Chantilly Cream is whipped to a buttery vanilla perfection…this combination is so good, your Uncle Joe’s attitude might even improve after a bite or two. We make no promises. Order your Sweet Potato Pecan Pie with Chantilly Cream now through Tuesday November 22. $30 per pie, serves 6. Pick up orders Wednesday November 23 from 12-7pm. To order, call Killer Shrimp at 310-578-2293 or email us at info@killershrimp.com. Wanna share this story with your peeps? Do it! Copy ‘n paste this shortlink http://killershrimp.com/?p=260
