Popeyes' “Twisty” Wicked Shrimp has arrived as the newest menu item, offering a twist on a bite-sized fan-favorite. With temperatures dropping, restaurants are introducing new menu items to re-ignite fans, giving them something to look forward to. This side order is the perfect example of that, as it arrives as part of the chain's limited-edition menu that's sure to satisfy any cravings one might have.
To achieve the flavor profile, Popeyes uses a hand blended combination of seasoning and spices, including salt, pepper, onion, garlic, cayenne pepper, bay leaf, and sriracha. All of that is fried to offer a crispy finish. What's more is that this item arrives with a new Smoky Garlic Tartar Sauce dipping sauce
