Garlic Butter Shrimp

What is it?

Butterflied shrimp come sautéed in a garlic butter sauce seasoned with Popeyes' Cajun blend. The shrimp are cooked in-shell style, then tossed so the butter clings to the surface instead of pooling at the bottom. Garlic leans mellow and cooked, not sharp, and the seasoning brings heat and herbs in the background. At Popeyes, it sits apart from the chicken sandwiches, tenders, and biscuits, and closer to the chain’s other seafood items when they’re on the menu. Usually sold as a side or limited-time item, it’s a simple shrimp preparation built around sauce, spice, and quick cooking.
