| Component | Contains |
|---|---|
| Shrimp | Shellfish |
| Breading | Wheat, gluten |
| Dipping Sauce | Dairy, possible egg |
| Frying Oil | Possible soy |
LongHorn Crispy Shrimp is not suitable for a gluten free diet due to the breading, and it carries a shellfish allergen from the shrimp itself. Shared fryer oil also raises the risk of cross contact for anyone managing a wheat allergy or celiac disease, so guests avoiding shellfish may prefer the Firecracker Chicken Wraps instead.
| Component | Ingredients |
|---|---|
| Shrimp | Bite-sized shrimp, breaded, fried to order |
| Breading | Wheat flour, seasoning blend |
| Dipping Sauce | Creamy blend, seasoned |
| Garnish | Fresh lemon wedge |
| Pairing | Why the Combination Works |
|---|---|
| Caesar Salad | A light, tangy contrast to the crispy fried texture |
| Ribeye Steak | A hearty entrée that balances a lighter seafood starter |
| Classic House Salad | Keeps the meal fresh before a heavier main |
| Renegade Sirloin | A leaner steak pairing that doesn’t compete with the shrimp |
| LongHorn Chili | A hearty, smoky starter option for the table before the shrimp arrives |
| Chardonnay or Light Beer | Both complement the seafood flavor well |
- A simple, crowd-pleasing seafood option without heavy spice or sauce
- Portion size supports 2 to 3 people sharing rather than a single order
- Pairs easily with almost any entrée, steak or otherwise
- A lighter calorie option compared to some of the richer fried appetizers
LongHorn Crispy Shrimp offers a simple, satisfying seafood starter built around crunchy, golden fried shrimp and a creamy dipping sauce. Priced at $12.49 and carrying 540 calories, it lands in the middle of the appetizer lineup, lighter than some of the richer fried options but still indulgent enough to feel like a proper starter. The mild flavor profile makes it an easy choice for diners who don’t want a lot of spice or heavy sauce competing with the shrimp itself.
