Smashburger, the Denver, Colorado-based fast-casual restaurant operator that popularized smashed burgers in America, has introduced limited time shrimp offerings to its menu, adding seafood variety as an alternative to meat during the Lenten period of repentance when observant Christians prepare for Easter.
“We’re always looking for ways to bring flavor and variety to our guests, and our new shrimp offerings do exactly that,” said Tom Ryan, founder of the chain. “Lent is a time when many people look for seafood options, and we wanted to deliver something that meets that need while staying true to the great taste our guests expect. This new shrimp lineup brings a delicious twist to the season, full of flavor and offered at a value that makes it easy for guests to enjoy something different.”
The seafood offerings are available now at participating Smashburger locations across the United States:
• Big Shrimp Roll – A dozen crispy shrimp, lettuce and remoulade sauce on a butter-toasted roll.
• Scorchin’ Big Shrimp Roll – Twelve crispy shrimp marinated in hot spices, lettuce and remoulade sauce served on a butter-toasted roll.
• Shrimp Basket – Two dozen crispy shrimp served with french fries, remoulade sauce and chipotle mayonnaise.
• Scorchin’ Shrimp Basket – Two dozen crispy shrimp marinated in hot spices, served with french fries, remoulade sauce and chipotle mayonnaise.
“Taste has always been at the heart of our brand and our greatest competitive advantage. By introducing high‑quality seafood options for Lent, we’re reinforcing our leadership in the fast-casual sector and showing guests they can count on Smashburger for bold innovation and real value,” said CEO Jim Sullivan.
The shrimp offerings follow the brand’s Scorchin menu debut in January, featuring items including the Scorchin’ Cheesy Mac Smash, Scorchin’ Big Dog and Scorchin’ Chicken Smash.
