Every year around this time new fast-food fish sandwiches and seafood dishes start hitting restaurant chains across the country for Lent. While a good fish sandwich hits the spot—and there are great ones from Wendy’s, McDonald’s, and Popeyes to choose from—this year shrimp dishes are popping up everywhere.

These shrimp-centered dishes are not just at restaurants that are traditionally seafood-centric, either. If you’re a shrimp fan, you’re in luck these days, because diminutive decapods are being cooked up in all sorts of creative ways.

And while shrimp can be healthy, be sure to check the calorie count because several of these decadent shrimp dishes are deep fried, so keep them to a once-in-a-while treat or the occasional Friday.

Shrimp is always on the menu at Popeyes, and in two forms at that. You can opt for a classic breaded and fried shrimp meal or for the chain’s beloved smaller Popcorn Shrimp offering. Either way, when you order a meal, you’ll also get a biscuit, a side of mashed potatoes and gravy, and a drink.

A&W offers battered and fried shrimp served alongside fries and a bowl of slaw in true pub style, though you’ll need to stick with root beer instead of regular beer, of course. And while shrimp is the protein of the moment, the chain does also offer breaded cod as an option for the same Pub Style Baskets.
