47. Bang Bang Shrimp at A Fish Called Avalon
A Fish Called Avalon recently unveiled a new
menu, but you can bet Bang Bang shrimp is still around -- as it has
been since the South Beach seafood restaurant first opened its Ocean
Drive doors in 1996. Chef Brian Cantrell marinates the succulent
crustaceans in a citrus mojo, sears them on the grill, and plates the
shrimp with grapefruit and orange sections, avocado crema, and
pistachio dust ($14). Add a glass of Chardonnay and -- Bang Bang -- you're
fed.
