The whole idea

Pick it from the ice. We cook it now. A bucket of shellfish and corn goes into the sauce you pick, then straight over the paper in front of you. No plates. No ceremony. Everyone reaches in at once.

05 Where we came from

Homegrown

Red Shrimp was started by Al Hai Hospitality, an Emirati company, and we cook the way the Gulf actually eats - East, West and Emirati on the same table, without picking a side.

The counter is the point. The day's catch sits on ice where you can see it, the king crabs are in the tank behind it, and what you pick is what gets cooked.
