No. 12: Fried Rock Shrimp With Spicy Yuzu From Suite 225
The Florida rock shrimp story is one of those happy dramas that
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.
