## Story

Popeyes is expanding its value lineup for the summer with the addition of Butterfly Shrimp to its $5 Faves menu.

Beginning Tuesday, guests can purchase an eight-piece order of Butterfly Shrimp for $5 in one of four flavors: Buffalo, Garlic Parmesan, Lemon Pepper, or Ghost Pepper.

The seafood offering joins the chain’s existing $5 Faves menu, which also includes the Chicken Sandwich, three-piece Tenders, and three-piece Signature Chicken. The promotion will be available for a limited time through the summer.

The expanded menu gives customers another value-priced option alongside Popeyes’ signature chicken offerings, adding seafood to the lineup at the same $5 price point.

In addition to the shrimp launch, Popeyes is bringing back its Cheese Bites for a limited time. The fried cheese curds will be available as an add-on for $3.99.
