THE DISH: Watermelon & kiwi shrimp, $10

THE RESTAURANT: RA Sushi

The epitome of summertime cuisine, RA Sushi creates a cool and tropical dish of fresh fruit and lightly seasoned shrimp. Watermelon, lychee, kiwi and mandarin orange play on a palate, kissing the shrimp with a light sweetness. It’s a light and refreshing appetizer that will be on the specials menu through the end of July.

“This dish just works really well for summer,” says RA Sushi general manager Philip Berg. “People like the fruit and it’s really pretty. It’s a cool salad on a hot day that people really like.”

THE INFO: RA Sushi serves lunch and dinner daily from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday to Thursday and until 11 p.m. Friday to Sunday in Downtown at the Gardens at 11701 Lake Victoria Gardens, Palm Beach Gardens. Phone: (561) 340-2112.
