Goatfeather's Seafood or Shrimpers before I perform the following:

Purchase several pounds
Peel (except tail), de-vein, and butterfly them
Dip in egg wash and roll in crushed saltine's
Fry to golden brown
Serve with a little cocktail sauce (ketchup and horseradish to taste)

JB's Chinese Restaurant in Freeport. Lightly fried and party of the whole buffet. Delicious...

I have to agree with the Nick's part. Go West on Hwy 20, a few miles past Freeport. Old school Florida !

Tried the shrimp poboy at Shade today; the shrimp were nice sized and pretty tasty. I'm thinking I still like Stinky's better than the rest of the places I've had shrimp baskets down here. I do like Seagrove Market Cafe, too-I had their cheesesteak yesterday and it was really great!

The shrimp at Nick's in Basin Bayou is the BEST! So glad it is just 4 miles from the house. Just have to survive without them on Mondays.

I like Jambone's fried shrimp...great batter and always perfectly cooked.

Yes, Jambone has really good fried shrimp! I don't immediately think of it as a seafood place. Their shrimp is more of a tempura style than southern fried. The squid salad is nice also.

I thought I heard that ACME (Baytowne) closed last year.

Hubby had shrimp at Jambones last night and he loved them; I thought they had a really nice light batter that was very thin and very crisp.

I think we're going to have to try and find Nick's!

Acme closed down in the winter for a bit - but back up again.

Nick's for me. Why didn't they rebuild/reopen after the fire at the Blue Mountain Beach location? They stayed busy.
