(Pensacola, Florida, May 15, 2025) Shrimp Basket, the popular restaurant chain that celebrates the laid-back experience of the Gulf Coast with locations throughout Alabama, Florida and Mississippi, is proud to set the bar for quality and taste with the launch of its new Gulf to Guest menu offering. Uniquely positioned to celebrate and elevate Gulf Coast seafood, Shrimp Basket’s Gulf to Guest is not a limited-time campaign, rather, it is a lasting commitment to doing seafood right.
As guests look to enjoy more regionally sourced seafood, Shrimp Basket is now expanding its use of Wild Caught Gulf Shrimp across a wide selection of its most popular menu items. The new Gulf to Guest menu offerings, which roll out on Monday, May 19 across all 18 Shrimp Basket locations, reflect the brand’s deep commitment to authenticity and community.
“Shrimp Basket is going all-in on Gulf seafood,” said Kevin Nagle, Brand President of Shrimp Basket. “We’ve heard our guests ask for more locally sourced shrimp and seafood that reflects the flavor, heritage, and pride of the Gulf Coast, and Gulf to Guest is our answer. This new menu offering is one that we’ve considered implementing for some time, and we are grateful to be working with amazing providers to deliver what our guests want, while supporting the hardworking fishermen of our region.”
While Shrimp Basket has sourced its popular popcorn shrimp from the Gulf for years, they are now expanding that offering to other Gulf shrimp and seafood options on the menu. Beginning May 19, guests can enjoy Wild Caught Gulf Shrimp in the following dishes:
● The Classic Tail-On Shrimp Basket
● The Seafood Basket (now featuring tail-on shrimp)
● The Pick Two Combo
● The Steamed Shrimp Starter (pictured above/top)
● The Steamed Shrimp Platter
● The Grilled Shrimp Platter
Shrimp Basket is also introducing a new premium flounder offering. As part of Gulf to Guest, Shrimp Basket’s Flounder Basket, Seafood Basket, Pick Two Combo, and Grilled Platter will feature a flounder wild-caught in the icy waters off Alaska to bring guests both consistent, high-quality seafood while supporting sustainable U.S. fisheries.
Shrimp Basket is also proud to spotlight another long-standing seasonal favorite: fresh Gulf oysters. Served raw and sourced directly from Gulf Coast waters, oysters have been a Shrimp Basket menu staple for years, delivering an authentic, briny taste that represents the best of the region.
While proudly introducing these new Gulf-sourced and wild-caught options, Shrimp Basket remains committed to accessibility and value. To ensure every guest can enjoy what matters most to them—whether its regional authenticity or everyday affordability, Shrimp Basket will continue offering value shrimp selections.
Added Nagle, “Whether it's locally-sourced seafood or price, we are happy to provide our guests with the options to suit their preferences and priorities.”
