TL;DR
Grilled and boiled shrimp are widely available at cafes and markets throughout Nha Trang. Half a kilo of grilled shrimp costs roughly 200–250k VND.
At a cafe called Cheap-Cheap (near Cafe Moskva and Nemo) a plate of shrimp with fries costs around 95k VND — among the lowest prices in the area. Fish with rice runs 90–100k, and pho bo just 35k.
What's sold as 'lobster' in Vietnam is actually spiny lobster (no claws), and local preparation can be hit or miss. A kilogram of medium-sized shrimp is a better bet — tastier and more reliably cooked.
Cooked shrimp to go can be found at local markets in Nha Trang, where vendors often prepare them fresh on-site. Street seafood cafes and restaurants can also pack them to take away.
Shrimp in Nha Trang are cheap and available everywhere. Half a kilo of grilled shrimp at a regular cafe runs about 200–250k VND — a very reasonable price for fresh seafood.
