Popeyes is diving into spring with a refreshed seasonal menu that brings back fan‑favorite seafood classics and introduces four brand‑new shrimp dry rub flavors. The lineup arrives just in time for Lent, giving customers more ways to enjoy the chain’s Louisiana‑style seafood offerings.
Popeyes’ Seasonal Seafood Menu Returns
According to Food & Wine, Popeyes is officially bringing back its limited‑time seafood lineup for spring 2026, including:
- Flounder Fish Sandwich
- Butterfly Shrimp Tackle Box
- Surf & Turf Basket
Delish confirms the same trio is returning nationwide, noting that these items have become a seasonal staple for the brand.
The 4 New Shrimp Dry Rub Flavors
The biggest news this season is Popeyes’ launch of four new dry rubs for its shrimp — a first for the chain. As reported by Allrecipes, the new flavors are:
- Garlic Parmesan
- Lemon Pepper
- Buffalo Shrimp
- Ghost Pepper
These rubs can be added to any shrimp order, giving customers a customizable heat‑and‑flavor experience.
A Crunchy Favorite Also Returns
The fan‑favorite Fried Pickles are also back for spring, rounding out the seasonal menu with a crispy, herb‑seasoned side that pairs perfectly with the seafood offerings.
Why Popeyes Is Expanding Its Spring Menu
Popeyes’ spring seafood drop has become an annual tradition, but this year’s expansion reflects a broader push to offer more variety across proteins, textures, and flavor profiles. The new dry rubs, in particular, signal the chain’s interest in giving customers more customization and bolder flavor options.
