Plant Based Shrimp Debuts at Lawrence's Fish & Shrimp

Lawrence's Fish & Shrimp has announced the addition of plant based shrimp to their menu. Shock ‘N Shrimp, created and produced in Chicago by Good2Go Veggie, is 100% plant-based breaded shrimp 

“We want to bridge the gap between those who are newly vegan, curious or just looking for healthier options in their diet,” said Good2Go Veggie Founder Andrea Jackson. ‘Having Shock ‘N Shrimp available at such a prolific Chicago-land restaurant will make plant-based food accessible to so many people.”

Shock ‘N Shrimp is made from the root vegetable Konjac, a starchy tuber-like plant rich in fiber. It contains no soy, no nuts, no dairy and no GMO products.

“We don’t make menu changes often but Shock ‘N Shrimp was too good to ignore,” said Lawrence’s Fish & Shrimp Director of Marketing Kelley Whalen. “Even skeptics and meat-eaters on our team were impressed.”

Shock ‘N Shrimp will be available at all four Lawrence’s Fish & Shrimp locations. Guests may buy a Half or Full size priced at $11.99 and $22.99 when ordering directly from Lawrence’s Fish & Shrimp (prices will be higher on 3rd party delivery services due to fees). Every Monday Shock ‘N Shrimp will be featured as a #meatlessmonday daily special and a Half size will be discounted to $9.99.

“This is a big win for the plant-based community,” said Tamika Price, a vegan content creator. “Lawrence’s Fish & Shrimp is iconic so making a plant-based version of their shrimp available is a big deal.”
