The Skinny: What can I say?
Fried shrimp is my weakness. Oh, I love the shellfish in all forms.
But that combination of flour and hot oil takes me back to my childhood and the wonderful fried shrimp we had decades ago at Hudgins in West Palm Beach and Dino’s in Fort Myers.
Two George’s did a nice job with the shellfish during a recent visit.
I typically go for the conch chowder (among the best anywhere) and a sandwich when I visit, but decided to forgo those in favor of this plate of shrimp.
The eight large shrimp were plump and were fried until tender.
The side of fries was crispy. They appeared to be battered — there was a coating — but they and the medley of squash served on the side almost were superfluous.
Who needs anything else when shrimp are this pretty?
