No. 12: Fried Rock Shrimp With Spicy Yuzu From Suite 225

The Florida rock shrimp story is one of those happy dramas that

typifies good old

American ingenuity. Here is a delicious little

deep-sea animal that for hundreds of years had almost completely

confounded our desire to eat it. The rock shrimp is smaller than a Gulf

shrimp, and instead of a peel 'n' eat shell, it's got a rock-hard

carapace (hence the name) that protects its yummy morsel of sweet,

dense, lobster-like meat. At Suite 225 in Lantana, the restaurant's

take on rock shrimp are good enough to inspire fierce loyalty. The

succulent meat is removed from its the impenetrable shell replaced with

an airy coating of crisply fried

batter, drizzled with a bit of tongue-twisting citrus sauce laced with

chilis. --Gail Shepherd

Update: Suite 225 is unfortunately no longer in business. We apologize for the oversight.
