## Story

Captain D’s is turning up the crunch this Lent with a bold new twist on its classic Butterfly Shrimp. For a limited time, guests can dive into brand-new Crispy Crunchy Shrimp—golden Butterfly Shrimp coated in flaky, crushed wontons for an irresistible crunch in every bite.

The Crispy Crunchy Shrimp & Fish Meal is part of the Lent lineup and the restaurant’s Full Meal Deals, including options such as the 2 Pc Fish and Seafood Trio. This combo features four Crispy Crunchy Shrimp, one Batter Dipped Fish fillet, and Sweet & Sour Sauce, a condiment that made a comeback last year after guests clamored for its return. All Full Meal Deals include hush puppies and a choice of classic side.

Seafood lovers who can’t get enough of the new shrimp can also enjoy the 8 Pc Crispy Crunchy Shrimp & 2 Pc Fish Meal or the Ultimate Seafood Platter with Crispy Crunchy Shrimp, perfect for sharing (or not). Additional menu items include Fried Oysters, Seafood Gumbo, and a Chocolate Cake.

“Every Lent, we see an increase in guests seeking out seafood—which has been our wheelhouse for over 55 years,” said Jonathan Muhtar, Chief Marketing Officer of Captain D’s. “We’re proud to introduce our delicious Crispy Crunchy Shrimp during this season as the perfect complement to our beloved Sweet & Sour Sauce.”

Crispy Crunchy Shrimp is available for a limited time at participating locations through April 5.
