Daphne's California Greek adds grilled shrimp to menu

February 13, 2012

Daphne’s California Greek is introducing guests to its new grilled, herb-marinated shrimp menu item. Marinated in a combination of garlic, paprika and spices and served on a skewer, the new grilled shrimp takes center stage among three new menu items including Mango Shrimp Salad, Classic Grilled Shrimp Pita, and a Shrimp Combo that includes two sides and a beverage.

“Our grilled shrimp is right on the money for a flavorful healthy option for people who want great food that is also good for you,” said Bill Trefethen, Daphne’s CEO. “This is one more step in our California-inspired menu innovation that is giving customers a reason to keep coming back to Daphne’s.”

The new grilled shrimp items are part of Daphne’s menu evolution to combine its Mediterranean classics with a fresh California influence. Last year, Daphne’s introduced four flatbread pizzas under 500 calories each, and new salads including a California Greek Salad with roasted chicken, chopped vegetables, avocado and more with a gorgonzola vinaigrette and Chicken Spinach Apple Salad with cranberries and candied walnuts.

The new grilled shrimp menu items include:

• Mango Shrimp Salad ($9.29) features grilled shrimp, fresh hand-made mango salsa with a hint of smoky chipotle flavor, mixed greens and feta cheese with a balsamic hummus dressing. The salad is served with a choice of warm multi-grain or regular pita bread and is less than 400 calories.
• The Classic Pita ($6.99) features grilled shrimp, chopped fresh Roma tomatoes, crispy lettuce, red onions, and Daphne’s Classic Greek dressing. The Classic Pita also is available with crispy shrimp.
• The Shrimp Selects Combo ($8.29), Daphne’s value-oriented combo meal option, includes a skewer of grilled shrimp served with a choice of two sides, pita bread and a regular fountain beverage.
