In season 5 episode 6 of The Great Food Truck Race, titled "Shrimpin' Ain't Easy," the teams find themselves in Gulfport, Mississippi, a city known for its seafood. The challenge for the episode is to create a shrimp dish that showcases the local flavor.
The teams start off by meeting with a local shrimp boat captain who shows them how to catch shrimp and gives them a lesson on the different types of shrimp found in the area. Armed with this knowledge, the teams head to the local seafood market to pick up their ingredients.
Next, the teams set up shop at the Gulfport Seafood Festival and start preparing their shrimp dishes. The judges for this challenge are local chefs, who know their seafood and are looking for dishes with bold flavors and a creative spin on the traditional shrimp dishes served in the area.
As the teams cook, they face several challenges, including a shortage of propane and a sudden thunderstorm that threatens to shut down their operations. Each team has to find a way to work around these challenges and deliver their dishes to the judges on time.
In addition to the shrimp challenge, the teams also have to compete in a race to see who can sell the most seafood gumbo at a nearby street fair. This challenge pushes the teams to their limits, as they have to juggle multiple tasks at the same time and fight for customers in a highly competitive market.
As the episode comes to a close, the judges make their decisions and one team is sent home, while the others move on to the next challenge. With only a few episodes left in the season, the competition is heating up and the pressure is on for the remaining teams to bring their A-game and impress the judges with their culinary skills and creativity.
