McDonald's Taiwan has debuted its newest limited edition menu, this time focusing on fried seafood sandwiches. There are two sandwiches included in this menu: a 'Double Fried Shrimp Tempura Sandwich' and a 'Fried Shrimp Tempura Black Angus Beef Burger.'
Both sandwiches include cheese, leaf lettuce, and a new lemon dill sauce. The Angus burger contains one tempura shrimp with a 4-oz Angus patty, and the fried shrimp sandwich contains two tempura shrimp with no added patty. The tempura shrimp are dipped in tempura batter, fried, and cooked fresh to order at participating McDonald's locations.
McDonald's consumers may also notice that the tempura shrimp have not been de-tailed, meaning the tail will have to be eaten around, removed prior to eating the burger, or eaten itself. This QSR seafood promotion will last until December 28th, 2021, so consumers have just over one month to try these delicious fried seafood sandwiches.
