"the chain has quite a few seafood-based dishes, including a chilled seafood tower, crab cakes, and calamari. That said, one dish has amassed quite the cult following. If you guessed the Spicy Shrimp appetizer, you're correct. Although its flavor and texture are the top reasons the dish is popular among fans, the way the shrimp is prepared is really the secret behind the appetizer's success."
"The Spicy Shrimp at Ruth's Chris Steak House essentially consists of several large shrimp that are lightly battered and fried before being coated in a spicy cream sauce and served with a fresh cucumber salad. The shrimp is peeled and deveined, but the prep doesn't stop there. The crustaceans are also butterflied to maximize surface area, guaranteeing more crunch when fried and better flavor distribution when tossed in sauce."
Ruth's Chris offers several seafood dishes, but the Spicy Shrimp appetizer has a devoted following. The dish features large shrimp that are peeled, deveined, butterflied, lightly battered and fried, then coated in a spicy cream sauce and paired with a fresh cucumber salad. Butterflying increases surface area for extra crunch and better sauce coverage, which distinguishes the preparation from other chains. Comparable items at other restaurants may butterfly shrimp or deliver strong flavor, but they often lack the combination of airy breading, saucy finish, and the specific texture produced by slicing the shrimp down the middle. Diners commonly praise the zesty flavor and texture.
