They offer 1/2 lb of shrimp or 1 lb of shrimp, along with other items on the menu, we went specifically for the shrimp and it was NOT disappointing, the Cajun shrimp was delicious.

I use to love this place. The shrimp was over cooked. The slaw was nasty. They are dog friendly if you sit outside.

My sister, best friend, & I had lunch last week. I noticed right away that the menu seemed different. I have been going to The Shrimp Basket since the early 2000's. Gulf Shores was the first one. I have visited several through the years- Orange Beach, Perdido, & Pensacola. Granted, I am from out of town so I have not been to this location since 2018. Anyway, the menu seemed different & didn't offer things they used to. We ended up getting gumbo, red beans & rice, & smoked Mahi Mahi dip for appetizers. The gumbo & red beans & rice were fine. The dip tasted like one of those smoked tuna lunch packets, not terrible, but definitely not that great. I got the steamed shrimp platter. The shrimp were fine, nothing to write home about, but the potatoes & corn were absolutely tasteless. I added salt, pepper, butter, hot sauce- nothing helped! Just tasted like plain water. My sister got the grilled shrimp platter & it was pretty pitiful. Shrimp did not appear grilled, but sautéed maybe? No flavor whatsoever. None. My friend got the blackened red fish with the sauce over rice, this has always been a favorite dish. The fish was cooked perfectly, so flaky, but when I tell you it tasted like air- that's exactly what it tasted like!! Obviously not blackened, the sauce added absolutely nothing, just totally flavorless! All in all this meal was one of the most disappointing I've ever had in my over 30yrs of visiting the gulf coast. The Shrimp Basket used to be a go to, always a treat, I really do not think I will ever go again. Y'all have made changes & they're not good! Don't fix it if it ain't broken!! BTW, our server was an absolute peach! I think her name was Shauna? Hesitated to do a review because nothing was her fault, she was wonderful, but nothing was going to save that crappy meal!! 👎🏼👎🏼
