A delicious new seafood offering, the Shimp Roll features the brand’s signature [popcorn shrimp](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crunchy-shrimp) paired with shredded green-leaf lettuce, two [pickle slices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/popeyes-pickle-menu), and blackened tartar sauce – all served on a split toasted brioche hoagie bun. The new dish can be enjoyed la carte, or as part of a Shrimp Roll Combo, which comes with your choice of side and a drink. As of right now, the new Shrimp Roll has been spotted at select Popeyes and on the brand's website. However, no word yet on its nationwide release date.
