There’s always something new at @evviva.nola , where co-chefs are forever trying out new dishes and micro-batch seasonal finds from the market (and I’m here for the mackerel crudo with martinis).

But then the shrimp are in perpetual rotation, and they are always done exactly as I want them to be.

They’re grilled not a moment too long, with a taste of char just on the edge of the shell while the tails keep a fresh pop. Add garlic and lemon, simple, perfect.

The “after” photo shows how much I enjoy them.

This is one from a bunch of top dish picks on my mind now in deep summer — link in my bio has the full read with all of them.
