Angry Crab Shack, Cajun seafood restaurant in Peoria, United States
Angry Crab Shack is a seafood restaurant in Peoria, Arizona, known for its Asian-Cajun style cooking. Guests build their own plate by choosing ingredients such as shrimp or crab and pairing them with a sauce of their choice.
The concept started in Arizona and quickly expanded to several cities across the state. Its growth came from a format that paired Cajun-style cooking with Asian sauces, which was uncommon in the region at the time.
Guests eat with their hands, cracking open shellfish right at the table in a casual, communal way. Meals are often shared across the group, and the noise level tends to be lively and friendly.
The restaurant is located at the corner of 75th Avenue and Cactus Road in Peoria and is easy to reach by car. For groups, it is worth arriving early or reserving ahead, as the place can fill up during peak hours.
The sauces are served in bags where the seafood is shaken directly with the seasoning, so every piece gets an even coating. This method is part of the restaurant's format and sets it apart from other seafood spots.
