The new Beer Battered Shrimp Taco from Del Taco gives consumers a new seafood option when it comes to fast food. While seafood dishes are available at most fast food establishments, these offerings are largely limited to fish sticks and sandwiches. Now there is a delicious new option for consumers looking for an alternative to red meat.
The new Beer Battered Shrimp Taco consists of fried shrimp coated in a rich beer batter. The shrimp is then placed in a soft flour tortilla filled with cabbage, pico de gallo and Del Fuego sauce. A lime wedge is also included on the side. For those looking for more variety, Del Taco is also introducing the Beer Battered Fish Taco, the Epic Surf & Turf Burrito and the Del Fuego Shrimp Taco.
The new menu additions are perfectly timed with the beginning of Lent, in order to give consumers more non-meat options.
