What you’re looking at above is a photo of Panda Express’ new Five Flavor Shrimp.

Oh wait. I’m being told the photo below is the correct photo for Panda Express’ new shrimp entree, while the photo above is of Panda Express’ Pacific Chili Shrimp. My bad.

The Five Flavor Shrimp combines five quality ingredients — marinated shrimp, red bell peppers, onions, green string beans, and a Chinese-inspired umami sauce. According to Brand Eating, the entree is based on gan shao xia, a sweet and sour Shanghainese dish.

A 5.4-ounce serving has 210 calories, 11 grams of fat, 2.5 grams of saturated fat, 110 milligrams of cholesterol, 750 milligrams of sodium, 14 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of fiber, 7 grams of sugar, and 14 grams of protein.
