New Cracked Pepper Butterfly Shrimp from Popeyes
Popeyes Chicken Waffle Tenders have come and gone and now it’s on to the next. Popeyes today introduces new Cracked Pepper Butterfly Shrimp which is described as “premium, juicy, butterfly shrimp marinated in Louisiana seasonings cooked with a light and crispy sea salt and cracked pepper crust”. Priced at $4.99, the combo box comes with 8 Cracked Pepper Butterfly Shrimp, regular fries, a biscuit, and Blackened Tartar Dipping Sauce. Available for a limited time at participating locations.
Some past Popeyes shrimp releases:
- Zatarain’s Butterfly Shrimp review
- Original Butterfly Shrimp Tackle Box review
- Firecracker Shrimp with Firecracker dipping sauce
I’m definitely trying this.
When I tried them they were soggy – almost like they had been reheated. I’ll give it another shot though.
I am a big fan of Popeyey’s chicken but I don’t get impressed with their non-chicken options. I might try their shrimp but it will be hard for me to skip their delicious chicken for average-tasting shrimp.
Just tried this, and it was quite good. I only eat Popeye’s seafood when they do something funky, like Zatarain’s Shrimp or this offering. Otherwise I’ll just go to Captain D’s for my seafood. I noticed a little heat, but couldn’t tell if it was coming from the shrimp or the Blackened Tartar (which was great–the first time I’ve tried a nonstandard tartar sauce). Very good, and I’ll have it some more over the courseof the month.
My shrimp were tiny. Definitely not butterflied and were 7.00. Rip ogg
Not tiny at all.
Just has these, they are awesome. Crispy, spicy goodness and the blackened tartar sauce is to die for.
