Jimmy's Killer Prawns Unclaimed

Jimmy's Killer Prawns started with three successful restaurants prior to the first Jimmy’s Killer Prawns which was literally “Born from a dream".
Jimmy had a dream about a Sunday lunch he had, with a group of his friends, in Lourenco Marques (now Maputo). A group of about 20 of them sat on a long table drinking lots of “Gatao” wine and “Laurentina beer”. In his dream Jimmy had a birdseye view of the table from above. When the waiters brought out four huge platters of prawns and placed them in the centre of the table for all to share, as if through a camera lens, he zoomed in on a platter of these prawns and woke up. He then knew that prawns were the product he needed to focus on in the new restaurant.



Jimmy’s Killer Prawns are more than just restaurants, the experience of our awesome food, style of eating and great service brings together families and friends, parents and children, romantic dates, old friends and new friends. Many good business deals have also been concluded around our tables because of the relaxed environment that is conducive to congenial communication.
