Spicy Shrimp Dishes

This Fast Food Restaurant is Now Offering Deep-Fried Butterfly Shrimp

Popeyes' latest menu item features spicy butterfly shrimp. Although Popeyes is famous for its chicken, the fast food chain is now testing out a dish that will appeal to seafood lovers.

The 'Spicy Garlic Butterfly Shrimp' dish is the latest addition to the Popeyes menu. The seafood-based dish consists of butterfly shrimp, which have been breaded and then deep-fried. The shrimp are tossed in a mixture of fried onions, garlic and cayenne, which gives them a spicy flavor. The dish is served with a buttermilk biscuit, a Dill Tartar Dipping sauce and a side of your choice. The hearty combo is designed to appeal to those who enjoy seafood with a fast food twist.

The new Spicy Garlic Butterfly Shrimp dish is available at participating Popeyes restaurants for a limited time.
