Popeyes has combined the classic Southern side dish, hushpuppies, with their Butterfly Shrimp to create their obviously-named Hushpuppy Butterfly Shrimp.

The seafood dish is made by marinating Popeyes’ Butterfly Shrimp in Louisiana seasonings, coating them in a light, sweet hushpuppy cornmeal crust, and then deep frying them.

You can get eight Hushpuppy Butterfly Shrimp, Cajun Fries, a buttermilk biscuit, and Popeyes’ new Cajun Cocktail Dipping Sauce for $4.99.

It’s available at participating restaurants until July 26.
