Olive Garden recently expanded its appetizer selection with the debut of the new Shrimp Fritto Misto dish. Though Olive Garden is best known for its bottomless breadsticks and supersized pastas, the introduction of the new Shrimp Fritto Misto offers consumers something a little different.
Shrimp Fritto Misto is a sharable appetizer that starts with over a half pound of hand-breaded and lightly fried shrimp. The fried shrimp are then mixed with onions and red and green bell peppers for added flavor, and served with a a side of marinara and spicy ranch for dipping.
The new Shrimp Fritto Misto can currently be found at participating Olive Garden locations nationwide and comes with a price tag of $12.49 (through prices may vary slightly depending on the location).
