Select a course to read its story. Every plate is built around the ingredients we obsess over.
Killer Shrimp is prepared using all natural ingredients that are simmered for 10 hours to create our luxurious spicy sauce. Lee Michaels, a 60s rock legend, created the secret recipe in the 1980's for his friends and family. When your order is placed the fresh shrimp are added to the sauce and cooked quickly. Your order is then rushed to your table piping hot and served with French bread for dunking.

Loved loudly, reviewed often.
The food was great with the shrimp, lobster and crab claws swimming in the special sauce and plenty of French bread for dunking. The view of the marina from the balcony is also excellent.

The Killer Shrimp pasta was by far my favorite. The sauce was amazing with just the right kick of heat. We caught the sunset over the marina while we ate.
Dee M. · Yelp
This shrimp is truly KILLER! I adored the abundance of bread, the sauce was spicy and flavorful and the atmosphere of the marina view from the dining area can't be beat!

My first and hopefully not my last visit at Killer Shrimp! The restaurant has a classic feel and lovely ambiance, with beautiful views of the Marina. The food was absolutely delicious.

We dropped into Killer Shrimp on a local friend's recommendation. We opted for the Shelled Killer Shrimp, and it didn't disappoint. It packs a good level of spice.
Jaime R. · Yelp
It felt good to dine here again knowing the food is still tasty and flavorful and the service is still excellent. We had a party of 25 and the staff was very accommodating.

Been coming to Killer Shrimp for more than 25 years. In the old days they only had one dish: Killer Shrimp please and pecan sweet potato pie for dessert. Still the best decision every time.

Amazing food, excellent service, and a fantastic atmosphere. One of the highlights was being able to dock our boat at the private dock right in front of the restaurant, making arrival effortless.

My friend and I had a wonderful meal. Our server couldn't have been nicer. Also if you're a bread person, you're going to love the bread and butter. 100% recommend.

If you have never had Killer Shrimp, you have no idea what you are missing. A few years back, they reopened a massive, beautiful restaurant on the Marina in Marina Del Rey.
David C. · Yelp
After a night ride on my buddy's boat in the marina, we docked right outside Killer Shrimp and headed in for dinner. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, and the service was awesome.

Pet friendly, even a pet menu, and I love the view. Happy Hour is a great deal. The owner always comes to connect with the patrons. Such a personal touch.

Had the killer shrimp, crab, and lobster and it was quite a large portion size that tasted really good in their sauce. I'm in the area frequently for business and always come back.

We had a memorable experience dining at Killer Shrimp. Our waitress was amazing and went above and beyond to accommodate our daughter with food allergies.
Cheryl P. · Yelp
Food is always great, the tuna steak sandwich is top notch. The main reason we go here is because they have boat parking! No other place has this. Great for a boating day lunch.
Sean B. · Yelp
The ambiance was very welcoming, inviting, and casual. We ordered the lobster mac and cheese, shrimp tacos, mini crab cakes. Everything was absolutely delicious and so fresh.
