Filipinos have an explicit love affair with seafood. Which is not unlikely,
given that we live on a collection of islands surrounded by deep, rich
waters that offer up their bounty all year round.
This love is especially pronounced with shrimp. It’s available all year long
in our groceries, we ferment them to make our precious bagoong, dry
them to make our soups more savory, and include them in stir-fries,
noodle dishes, and on the rare occasions, even dessert.
So it’s no wonder that when Shrimp Bucket opened its doors five years
ago, Pinoys welcomed the new restaurant with open arms and healthy
appetites.
Shrimp in the City
After it was established in 2012, Shrimp Bucket quickly became a go-to
spot for anyone who was craving a heaping helping of plump, flavorful
shrimp. The restaurant’s trademark method of serving their seafood in
plastic bags caught on like wildfire.
Called “Bags by the Pound,” these plastic containers are filled with either fresh shrimps, crabs, or mussels, and are then loaded with one of a selection of seven mouth-watering flavors: Mardi Gras, Salty Eggsperience, Coco-sol, Frenchy Lemon Pepper, The Spaniard, Sebastiana and Coco-Curry.
Diners then deck themselves out with bibs and gloves dig in with gusto.
Eating with hands is encouraged here, and it helps you get the most out
of the experience. There’s something thrilling about being able to pry the
delicious shrimp free from its shell with your fingers like you would do at home. That’s partially why the resto is so popular with large groups and families — it has a fun, laid back atmosphere where people can relax and simply enjoy the food and the company.
Shrimp Bucket is now serving seafood lovers from seven locations:
Bonifacio Global City, Nuvali, Greenhills, UP Town Center, il Terrazo Mall, Ayala Malls The 30th, and Circuit Makati.
Shrimp Bucket’s 5th birthday
Shrimp Bucket capped its 5th year with a major celebration for a night of fun, food, and entertainment. Holding a shrimp cook out under the stars, Shrimp Bucket gathered all Shrimp lovers all over the Metro, who got their hands dirty and indulge in flavorful shrimps.
Teams of cooks prepared the restaurant’s popular dishes, while patrons enjoyed unlimited bags of shrimp drenched in their favorite flavors of Shrimp Bucket. Also, they served pork ribs, chicken wings, and a full bar at the party.
On its fifth year, Shrimp Bucket will be introducing new sauces and flavors that shrimp lovers will certainly enjoy.
