Krystal Offers New SEA-sonal Fresh Tastes and a Great Escape

    ATLANTA, GA, January 08, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- A new year means new flavors at Krystal restaurants - with a variety of seafood entrees featuring crispy, golden-fried shrimp. Krystal is offering Shrimp & Grits, Shrimp Po' Boys and a Double-Dozen Shrimp Basket - all in partnership with King & Prince Seafood. The items are available now through February 21st, or while supplies last. The restaurant and seafood brands will also offer guests a chance to win a Family-Fun Getaway to the King and Prince Beach and Golf Resort in Golden Isles, Georgia starting January 18.

"This is a time of year when we're sick of cold weather and daydreaming about the beach," said Heather Schlesinger, Director of Calendar Programs & Promotions for Krystal. "Shrimp is the perfect seafood to bring that coastal feeling to the table. We're very excited to offer so many great products to our guests."

The brand's shrimp line-up also features recipes that are distinctly Southern - one of the hallmarks of the established Atlanta-based brand. "The Shrimp & Grits is a classic throughout the South, and we've added our own Krystal twist to make it a perfect snack or meal any time of day," explained Schlesinger.

The Family-Fun Getaway Sweepstakes is an equally Southern experience in which one grand prize winner will receive a three-night stay at the King and Prince Resort on St. Simons Island. The winning family will also enjoy a Shrimp Boat Tour adventure excursion, a cooking lesson with Chef Johnny Carino, $500 in spending money, and roundtrip travel. "Our Family Getaway Sweepstakes is our way of sharing Southern hospitality with our valued guests," said Schlesinger.

"We're fortunate that King & Prince Seafood is sponsoring such a generous trip. It just goes to show their quality extends well beyond the tasty shrimp on our seasonal menu," added Schlesinger.

To enter the sweepstakes, guests simply need to visit the unique URL found on the Krystal website and Facebook page. Upon registration, guests will be invited to sign up for Club Krystal , the brand's new loyalty platform to receive additional special offers, news and more. After registration, guests will receive a sweepstakes entry for the grand prize and can also play the "Shrimp Spin & Win Game" for a chance to win one of twenty five second-place prizes: $10 Krystal Gift Cards.
