Shrimp Basket, Seafood restaurant in Perdido Key, Florida, US.
Shrimp Basket is a seafood restaurant on Perdido Key, a barrier island in the Florida Panhandle near the Alabama border. It serves Gulf of Mexico dishes including shrimp, fish, crab claws, and crawfish, as well as po'boy sandwiches and other Gulf Coast staples prepared fresh each day.
The chain opened its first location in Gulf Shores, Alabama in 1993, built around the idea of serving fresh Gulf seafood simply and affordably. Over the following years it expanded along the coast, and the Perdido Key spot is one of the locations that followed from that original concept.
Along the Gulf Coast, eating seafood in a casual setting is simply part of daily life, and this restaurant fits naturally into that rhythm. The po'boy sandwich served here is not a novelty but a staple that locals have eaten for decades at places just like this one.
The restaurant is on Perdido Key Drive, the main road running through the island, so it is easy to spot from the street. Takeout and delivery are available for those who prefer to eat at the beach or back at their accommodation.
Perdido Key sits directly on the Florida-Alabama state line, and the restaurant is located in a stretch of coast that belongs to two states at once. This border position means the menu draws from fishing traditions and supply networks on both sides of the line.
