Crispy Shrimp Sandwiches

Wienerschnitzel Introduces the New 'Shrimp Po’Boy Sandwich'

The new ‘Shrimp Po'Boy Sandwich’ from Wienerschnitzel and sister company Hamburger Stand has officially debuted. American fast food company Wienerschnitzel was established in 1961 and is known for its delicious hot dogs. The brand recently unveiled a new meatball sandwich, and its newest menu addition has arrived with a heavy emphasis on seafood. On the new ‘Shrimp Po'Boy Sandwich,’ the brand’s crispy-fried shrimp are placed on a freshly steamed bun and topped with tomato and remoulade sauce. The shrimps are crispy and flavorful, providing a satisfying crunch when paired with the softness of the bun.

For a limited time and while supplies last, the ‘Shrimp Po'Boy Sandwich’ is available at participating Wienerschnitzel and Hamburger Stand restaurants around the country.
