Nicole Allen is the chef and owner of Nic's Shrimp House, an up-and-coming food truck that provides southern style shrimp meals all around Las Vegas. You may not associate Las Vegas with cajun inspired seafood, however Nicole has defied the expectations of the Las Vegas food truck scene by dishing out her 3-foot-long jumbo shrimp skewers, and other dishes that provide her original take on shrimp.

Those shrimp kebabs look tasty 😋
I’m suddenly craving for some spicy shrimp! Great episode! 👍
Thanks #Munchies for this great experience. Next time Chef Steve Chu is in #LasVegas make sure he stops by. Wishing Nicole and family much success in the future. Shouldn’t be long and they’ll have a place inside a casino or their own brick & mortar establishment.
This got me emotional, hungry and wanting to drop everything to drive to Vegas. So cool of ya’ll to give them the spotlight
boo hoo
These Las Vegas series have been pretty dope.
I don’t usually like shrimp but those look like they’re covered in flavor 🔥 I’m definitely trying them next time I’m in Vegas
*A HUNDRED PERCENT culinary workers deserve so much more recognition, bUT FOOD TRUCK WORKERS ESSPECIALLY!* You gotta sacrifice so many “comforts” of a restaurant or fast food place
I have made it thru the whole menu and I can say I haven’t had anything that wasn’t A1 but my favorite are the shrimp and steak nic rolls
OMG, this looks absolutely delicious 🤤!! It’s nice to see a family working together.
#goals
I could feel your positive energy, hope one day I could go there and enjoy your food 😀
Oh bish… I LOVE seafood and shrimps. I will definitely be checking for this truck
*#I** want it ALL!!*
Spicy shrimp skewers slightly charred..
shrimp nachos with the rice and lots of nacho cheese and those crispy homemade chips.
the shrimp egg roll looks so damn crispy…
the special rice and spicy shrimp plate!
no way I wouldn’t be there everyday…
And after a few weeks I’d probably drop it back to twice a week
Amazing! Will certainly look them up this fall when in Vegas.
So awesome. Their food is amazing love them 🙌🏽🙌🏽
I can see Vegas losing Nicole to the world. Nobody with her gifts needs to work in an oven.
Her vibe is so real that the big shots will be tryna snatch her up right away. Probably Ramsay.
Personally, I’d rather see her relocate here to Michigan!
Best wishes, Chef Nicole!
1:20 “they are nacho typical nachos” NAILED IT!
In the middle of July I would have me two of those flavored shrimp on a sticks and a cold CAN of beer 🔥😎
I love her personality, her food looks great overall good episode but please don’t call yourself a chef if you never went to culinary school or at least a training to be one. Even some of my closest friends that does go to culinary school and went through all that training and hard work in restaurants doesn’t feel like they’re worthy to be called as chefs.
I love how passionate Nicole on her food.
Wish I was in Vegas so I could eat with y’all.
