Remember how great fried shrimp were as a kid? Found them again, in Chicago &Rockford
I don't order fried anything anymore really, maybe fries or calamari, and a really once in awhile is fried oysters/shrimp on a po' boy.
The other night on a motorcycle "just ride and get lost" night, a buddy of mine suggested we grab a couple of beers and then go to Joe's Goose Island Shrimp for some great fried shrimp. "Fried?!?!" I thought, oh well it was his turn to "lead" for the night so I followed suit.
Remember how great fried shrimp were as a kid? Man I used to just eat them up. I've found shrimp that good again!
Joe's Goose Island Shrimp is located 1013 W. Division in Chicago. JGIS is two blocks east of the Kennedy and two blocs west of the lovely Cabrini O' Green housing projects. Usually open until 3am, a definite late night haunt. phone: 312.642.3640
Make sure you get a bag of the Jumbos. Huge and sweet with the greatest breading.
Sitting on the cement breakwater near North Avenue beach, 75 degree night, drinking a cold beer, viewing the city in all its nighttime skyline splendor and munching on these great fried shrimp. Wow.
