FAQs
1. How many shrimp come in the Walt’s Favorite Shrimp Platter?
The platter includes 24 shrimp. (For comparison: the dinner entrée has 12 shrimp, and an add-on order has 6.)
2. Is Walt’s Favorite Shrimp gluten-free?
No. The shrimp are breaded with wheat flour and fried in shared fryers, so they are not safe for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
3. Are the shrimp tail-on or tail-off?
They are tail-on. Each shrimp is butterflied (cut open) to give more crunchy breading.
4. Can I get this platter grilled instead of fried?
No. Walt’s Favorite means breaded and fried. If you want grilled shrimp, choose Garlic Shrimp Scampi or Wood-Grilled Shrimp Skewers instead.
5. How do I reheat leftovers?
- Air fryer: 350°F (175°C) for 3–5 minutes
- Oven: 375°F (190°C) for 10–12 minutes
Avoid microwaving — it makes them soft and soggy.
