If you've ever wished your hamburger was made of shrimp, your prayers are answered at this here roadside shack on stilts. The fresh shrimp is delivered daily to a wharf across the street, and this place grinds 'em up, makes patties, fries them and finishes it off with a bun and some mayo, tartar or cocktail sauce. So perfect.
