Best Shrimp Meals In The Greater Atlantic City, NJ Area

Our dynamic team of listeners, readers, family members and friends gathered to compile a list of some of the best shrimp meals available in the Greater Atlantic City area.

The only obvious qualifier is that the dish must prominently include shrimp somewhere in it.

Our featured photo (above and below) is from a new seafood restaurant, opened by Steve Marchel … called Betty’s Seafood Shack in Margate, New Jersey.

Marchel is also the owner of the successful Water Dog Smoke House in Ventnor, New Jersey … which is another fabulous Greater Atlantic City restaurant.

Here is a look (below) of the fabulous Capriccio Italian Restaurant, at Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

Capriccio is the award-winning USA Today 10Best Readers Choice best casino restaurant in America for the past three years and four out of five.

Here is delicious-looking meal from Capriccio (below).

Below, is another great restaurant that is available at Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

This is from Dougherty's Steakhouse & Raw Bar … it’s called Seafood Linguini.

It includes: shrimp, scallops, clams, crab meat and parmesan cream.

See it directly below.

Chef Michael Dangelo has submitted a wonderful dish that is available at new Dim Sum restaurant located in Smithville shopping center, by JD's. It's called "Dim Sum and Then Some, in Galloway Township, New Jersey.

The meal featured below is Walnut Shrimp by Dim Sum Chef Michael Leung … who Dangelo describes as a chef with “incredible talent and has spent many decades in Atlantic city casino industry.”

Below is Chef Leung’s creation:

Jeannie Medinger Tate couldn’t decide on just one dish … so, she submitted “Shrimp Franchaise from Chef Vola’s or Shrimp and Broccoli at Joe Italiano's Maplewood Inn and Oyster Creek Restaurant and Boat Bar fried shrimp. Ok, so I couldn't pick just 1!“

No photos were provided for the three menu items listed above, however, by description they appear to be great.

Giovanna Liccio submitted this offering from Shuckers Bar & Grille (see it directly below), it looks fabulous.

Home chef, Scott Stetzer  makes our list again, and all you have to do is take a look at the photo below, and you’ll know why. His attention to detail, plate presentation is outstanding (see directly below).

Katie Hurley Hanlin submitted “the stuffed shrimp at The Crab Trap. Three jumbo shrimp topped with a huge amount of crab imperial. One of our favorites!”

Jim Fraser and Commander Bill Butler also love this particular dish available at the Crab Trap, located Somers Point, New Jersey.

The photo below depicts 3 worlds of a shrimp feast. It’s comprised collection of (3) shrimp stuffed with deviled crab, 8 fried shrimp and (5) shrimp scampi over wild rice.

John Rodio, a well known local restaurant and catering owner offers the following shrimp featured menu item called:

Cavatelli Franco, spicy marinara shrimp/ jumbo crab. See it directly below as follows:

Barbara Coles Submitted Crabmeat stuffed Shrimp, from The Golden Pyramid on the Black Horse Pike, just west of Mays Landing, which she says is “Amazing in every way.”

The Golden Pyramid is a sleeper, which has made several of our seafood lists over the years.

Dorothy Higgins says … ”Fried Shrimp at Oyster Creek. Or the shrimp cocktail at Maxwell Shellfish. Check out their raw bar!!!”

Chef Vola’s makes our list with Gail Santa Maria Layton submitting the Shrimp Franchise “at Chef Vola is to die for!”

She well knows that you can’t get it anymore, with the closing of the legendary Angeloni’s II Restaurant and Lounge … after more than 45 years in Atlantic City.

Nonetheless, Marianna Tzioutziouklaris Gonzalez has submitted this wonderful, flashback memory … Angeloni’s Shrimp Scampi (see directly below):

As always, our list is only a partial one in nature. Let us know what’s missing.

Bon appétit.
