Cajun-Spiced Shrimp Dishes

Popeyes Introduced New Cajun Crispy Shrimp for the 2021 Lenten Season

— February 13, 2021 — Lifestyle
With lent just around the corner, Popeyes has just debuted a new Cajun Crispy Shrimp dish.

For six Fridays each spring, those who observe Lent skip meat in favor of fish and other seafood dishes. As a result, many fast food brands step up their seafood offerings during this time, and Popeyes is no exception. For the 2021 Lenten season, the brand has introduced a new Cajun Crispy Shrimp dish, which consists of marinated butterfly shrimp covered in a crispy breading and the chain's signature Cajun spices. The result is a crispy and savory dish that's completely meat-free.

Right now, Popeyes is offering eight Cajun Crispy Shrimp, a side, and a biscuit for just $5. There's also a $5 Cajun Shrimp Surf & Turf combo meal that includes four Cajun Crispy Shrimp, two chicken tenders, a side, and a biscuit.
