Boiled and Fried Shrimp in Houston: How to Order at Swamp Kingz
June 03, 2026
By Swamp Kingz
Looking for boiled or fried shrimp in Houston? Swamp Kingz Cajun Kitchen & Bar serves boiled shrimp peeled or unpeeled by the half pound and pound, plus crispy fried shrimp baskets, at 2310 Highway 6 South. Shrimp is one of our most popular items because it works in a boil, in a basket, or folded into Cajun fried rice.
Whether you want a clean boiled shrimp meal or a crunchy fried platter, here is how to order shrimp the way you like it.
Boiled shrimp, your way
Boiled shrimp is a Gulf Coast classic. At Swamp Kingz you can order it:
- Peeled or unpeeled: Choose unpeeled for the traditional hands-on boil experience, or peeled for easy eating.
- By the half pound or pound: Order shrimp on its own or scale up for a group.
- In a boil bag: Add shrimp to a seafood boil with snow crab, crawfish, corn, potatoes, and sausage.
All boiled shrimp is tossed in our signature Kingz Sauce with your choice of spice level.
Crispy fried shrimp
If you prefer crunch, our fried shrimp delivers a golden, well-seasoned crust with juicy shrimp inside. Order it as a basket, in a seafood platter with fish and oysters, or alongside Cajun fries. Fried to order means it arrives hot and crisp, not soggy.
Shrimp fried rice and combos
Shrimp also stars in our Cajun shrimp fried rice, a favorite pairing for seafood meals. For variety, our combo packs mix shrimp with fish and oysters so you can sample several items in one order.
Boiled vs fried shrimp: which should you order?
Boiled shrimp keeps the focus on the natural sweetness of the shrimp and the buttery, spicy sauce, and it pairs well with a full boil spread. Fried shrimp is the move when you want texture and crunch, especially with fries and dipping sauces. Many guests order both to get the best of each.
Why Houston chooses Swamp Kingz for shrimp
- Two preparations: Boiled and fried, both cooked to order.
- Flexible portions: Half pound, pound, baskets, and platters.
- Peeled or unpeeled: Eat it your way.
- Bold Cajun flavor: Signature seasoning on every order.
