SAN DIEGO (June 23, 2022)—Leading fast-casual Mexican restaurant QDOBA announced the introduction of Citrus Lime Shrimp, a new limited time protein now available at participating QDOBA locations across the U.S. and Canada. QDOBA’s new Citrus Lime Shrimp features sustainably sourced and BAP (Best Aquaculture Practices) rated shrimp, all freshly sautéed in-house in a tangy citrus lime sauce. Seafood lovers, rejoice!

“After a successful market test, we learned that our guests craved a lighter protein alternative they could feel good about eating,” said QDOBA’s Chief Marketing Officer Karin Silk. “Our Citrus Lime Shrimp delivers all the vibrant, fresh flavors you would expect from our menu while giving guests the freedom to customize their creations or indulge in our protein-packed Surf & Turf entrée. Because why choose only one when you can have double the protein AND double the flavor!”
