With the return of the Lenten season, Del Taco has brought back its popular Crispy Jumbo Shrimp to create the new Buttery Garlic Parmesan Crispy Jumbo Shrimp Taco and Buttery Garlic Parmesan Stuffed Quesadilla Jumbo Shrimp Taco.
The delicious new Buttery Garlic Parmesan Crispy Jumbo Shrimp Taco starts with jumbo shrimp that have been battered, fried until crispy, and then douses in a buttery garlic parmesan sauce. The shrimp are then paired with crunchy shredded cabbage and house-made pico de Gallo, all served in a warm flour tortilla. Similarly, the new Buttery Garlic Parmesan Stuffed Quesadilla Jumbo Shrimp Taco features the same crispy shrimp but paired with house-grated cheddar cheese and the brand's signature creamy Queso Blanco, all grilled between two flour tortillas. The quesadilla is also topped with shredded cabbage, buttery garlic parmesan sauce, and house-made pico de gallo.
