With two successful openings in the last year, Shrimp House is moving to the Boca Town Center Mall on June 9, bringing its Brazilian flavors to Boca Raton. Known as Vivenda do Camarão in Brazil and Paraguay, Shrimp House is a seafood and pasta restaurant with 160 locations in other countries.
The Shrimp House first opened its doors in Brazil in 1984 and is now expanding further into America. “By 2016 The Shrimp House will be ready to launch its restaurants in other American states such as Texas and California,” said Shrimp House LLC President and Oxford Group CEO, Carlo Babieri.
Shrimp House is opening two locations within the Boca Town Center Mall, one food court style restaurant and one sit-down dinner style restaurant. These locations of Shrimp House will be the largest built in the United States yet. With intricate ceiling details and the teal and orange signature colors of The Shrimp House restaurants, the full-dinner style restaurant will feature “a state of the art conference room”.
The Shrimp House uses “healthy ingredients,” like Omega-3 oil and “only farm-raised shrimp imported from Brazil to prepare its fine food items, thus maintaining all the wonderful flavor and quality of the meals,” said Babieri.
The chefs at Shrimp House offer the “best taste” you can get from a shrimp using a “special flavor by using a variety of exotic and exclusive ingredients imported from Europe, Asia and Latin American,” said Babieri.
The Shrimp House has recently joined the Greater Boca Raton Chamber of Commerce who is planning the grand opening in the Boca Raton mall from 5:30 to 7:30 pm on June 9. A ribbon cutting will be followed by a food tasting for invited guests.
Mayor Susan Haynie and other representatives from city and civic groups are expected to be in attendance. Ambassador Helio Ramos, Consul General to Brazil in Miami, and Shrimp House founder Fernando Perri and his sons, Rodrigo and Diego, who are partners in the firm, are also expected.
