Shrimp & Co opened on 21 July 2026 at 50-52 Hanover Street, introducing its interactive Louisiana seafood boil concept to Liverpool following successful branches in Manchester and Birmingham. Positioned directly opposite the Hanover Street entrance to Liverpool ONE and two minutes on foot from Bold Street, the restaurant provides an energetic, hands-on communal dining experience centred on steaming bags of shellfish drenched in aromatic spiced butter glazes.
The entire restaurant operation is 100% Halal certified, filling a significant demand in Liverpool city centre for premium Halal seafood dining, family feasts, and celebration groups.
Is Shrimp & Co Halal? Kitchen certification and dietary standards
One of the most frequent questions from local diners and visitors is whether Shrimp & Co is Halal. The answer is straightforward: the entire Liverpool restaurant operation and kitchen are 100% Halal certified.
- All meat is Halal: Every meat dish on the menu—including the smoked beef sausages used in the seafood boil bags, buttermilk chicken wings, and crispy chicken fillets—is prepared using Halal-certified ingredients sourced from audited suppliers.
- All seafood is naturally permissible: Atlantic lobster tails, snow crab clusters, Alaskan king crab legs, jumbo black tiger king prawns, Scottish black mussels, and calamari are prepared in Halal-dedicated cookware.
- No pork or non-Halal animal fats: Pork products, bacon, and non-Halal animal gelatins are completely absent from the kitchen.
- No alcohol in sauces or food preparation: All signature butter sauces—including Cajun spice, garlic butter, lemon pepper, and the house Trifecta blend—are made without wine, spirits, or alcohol extracts.
- Completely alcohol-free restaurant: Shrimp & Co does not sell or serve alcoholic drinks. The dining room features a dedicated alcohol-free mocktail bar with passion fruit sparklers, blue lagoon coolers, and iced mint lemonades.
The Louisiana seafood boil experience
The restaurant offers a communal dining experience where food is eaten with the hands rather than traditional cutlery. Tables are lined with heavy butcher paper, and diners are equipped with plastic bibs, disposable gloves, and metal shell crackers. Shellfish is boiled in high-temperature food bags alongside sweetcorn on the cob and baby red potatoes, tossed thoroughly in melted house-spiced butter sauces, and poured directly onto the table for shared feasting.
Diners customise their seafood boil across four clear steps:
- Choose your shellfish: Atlantic lobster tails, snow crab clusters, Alaskan king crab legs, jumbo king prawns, Scottish mussels, or calamari.
- Select your signature sauce:
- Cajun Butter: Smoky paprika, garlic, oregano, cayenne, and melted butter.
- Garlic Butter: Rich roasted garlic puree blended with creamy unsalted butter and fresh parsley.
- Lemon Pepper: Zesty cracked black pepper with tangy citrus lemon butter.
- The Trifecta: The house signature blend combining Cajun, garlic butter, and lemon pepper into a rich, complex sauce.
- Pick your heat level: Mild (buttery with subtle warmth), Medium (noticeable pepper kick), Hot (fiery cayenne and bird's-eye chillies), or Extra Hot.
- Add sides and accompaniments: Steamed sweetcorn cobs, tender red baby potatoes, Halal smoked beef sausages, crispy Cajun seasoned fries, and steamed jasmine rice for soaking up leftover spiced butter.
