Crispy outside, juicy inside: TAILBITE’S® Handmade Crispy shrimp

Crispy breading, juicy shrimp and a little lemon. Sometimes a good meal simply comes down to getting a few simple things just right.

TAILBITE’S® Handmade Crispy shrimp are prepared by hand on site. We bread them ourselves, add our own seasoned salt and cook them until crispy. What matters most to us is that first bite: the coating should have a satisfying crunch, while the shrimp inside stays juicy.

Why did we start breading shrimp by hand?

TAILBITE’S® began with a love of shrimp at home. We often cooked them ourselves, until we started wishing we could sometimes order them ready to eat — a generous portion to enjoy straight away.

That interest in flavour and preparation has stayed with us ever since. In spring 2026, we introduced Handmade Crispy: hand-breaded shrimp that let us shape both the seasoning and the coating ourselves.

The warm response from our guests encouraged us to keep going. The combination of crunch and a juicy centre is exactly what we want this dish to offer.

The coating should complement the shrimp

Good breading brings out the flavour of the shrimp. We add our own secret seasoned salt and take care to make the outside crispy while keeping the inside juicy.

Handmade Crispy is a separate option from our Classical Crispy shrimp. If you want to try the version breaded by hand on site, look for Handmade Crispy when ordering.

Freshness from lemon, flavour your way with sauce

We always serve Handmade Crispy with a lemon wedge. A little lemon juice adds a tang that works beautifully with the crispy coating. Try your first shrimp with lemon to get a good first impression of the flavour and texture.

For a sauce, we recommend our own Bite Sauce. Made on site, it combines sweetness, smoky paprika and a lemony tang. This creamy sauce works just as well as a little extra on the side as it does for generous dipping.

If you enjoy a little heat, try sriracha mayonnaise. For a sweet and spicy combination, go for sweet chilli. There is no single right pairing: add lemon and sauce to make every bite your own.

A shrimp night without the breading and washing up

Cooking shrimp at home can be a lovely way to spend time. But after a day at work, you do not always feel like breading, cooking and cleaning the kitchen. Sometimes you just want good food and the time to enjoy it.

Handmade Crispy works as a meal for one or a dish to share with friends. Add fries or a fresh salad and your favourite sauce. For a larger group, order a few different shrimp dishes so everyone can find a favourite.

We also welcome people who are not used to eating shrimp. A familiar crispy texture can be a great introduction to seafood flavours. We love hearing from guests and friends when a first taste becomes a new favourite.

We want a good portion of shrimp to be an easy choice on an ordinary day, too.
