Krystal announced it is offering Shrimp & Grits, Shrimp Po' Boys and a Double-Dozen Shrimp Basket in partnership with King & Prince Seafood. The items are available now through Feb. 21, or while supplies last, according to a company press release. 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 Jan. 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 and 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, the release stated.

"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," Schlesinger said.

The Family-Fun Getaway Sweepstakes is an 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," Schlesinger said. "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."
