Hawaiian Beef Curry: A Local Favorite
Beef curry is a flavorful and hearty stew made with tender beef chunks simmered in a rich, savory curry sauce.

Garlic Shrimp: An Authentic Recipe Hawaii Style
Garlic shrimp is a buttery, garlicky dish made with large shrimp pan-fried until tender and slightly crispy, often served shell-on.

It’s typically served over rice to soak up every last drop of the buttery goodness.
