So we ordered it at every restaurant that had it for the rest of the trip. She was right. The Shrimp Factory on River Street was heavier with a bigger portion. The Olde Pink House was lighter with way less sauce, and that one was our favorite, maybe the best meal of the trip. Things to Know 👇 🍤 It started as a fisherman’s breakfast called breakfast shrimp, cooked one pot on the boat 📖 The first printed recipe was in a 1930 Charleston cookbook, credited to William Deas, a Black cook and butler 🍽 It only became a dinner menu dish in the 1980s after the New York Times ran a chef’s version 🏴‍☠️ We tried it at the Pirates’ House, the Shrimp Factory and the Olde Pink House 🥇 The Olde Pink House won, and it was the simplest one of the three Order it at more than one place.
