If shrimp had a red carpet moment, it’d be happening at OKKU this National Shrimp Day. Forget basic surf n’ turf—Dubai’s swanky Japanese hotspot is plating up a shrimp-studded celebration so extra, even Bubba Gump would RSVP. Think yuzu-glazed skewers, wasabi-dripped rock shrimp, and sushi rolls that look like they just stepped out of a Vogue seafood spread. If you’re not at OKKU on May 10th, you might just be doing shrimp wrong.
Let’s break it down for you: The Yuzu Shrimp Kushiyaki is the Beyoncé of skewers—zesty, graceful, and low-key powerful. At AED 89, it’s your golden ticket to start the party with citrus-kissed flair. Then come the spicy siblings—Wasabi Rock Shrimp and Crispy Rock Shrimp, both rolling in at AED 99. The wasabi’s got that bossy zing, while the crispy version is more sweet ‘n spicy drama queen, topped with toasted sesame that screams “I came to slay.”
And for the sushi stans? The Rainbow California Maki is the edible version of a Tokyo street-style lookbook. With shrimp, salmon, eel, tuna, and yellowtail stacked into one technicolor dream, it’s a roll call of seafood royalty—and it’s here to rule your feed and your appetite.
This isn’t just dinner. This is a curated, couture crustacean moment. So if your weekend doesn’t involve shrimp on a stick or sushi that doubles as art, you’re seriously missing the bite.
Moral of the story? Get yourself to OKKU. Shrimp waits for no one.
