When we crave gourmet-style Chinese food fast, Panda Express delivers. Everything from the classic go-to Orange Chicken to those new super hearty Balanced Protein Plates, this chain helps feed those needing comfort food ASAP.

While all the options on the expansive menu are full of flavor, there is a special dish we go back to time and time again whenever it is re-released. Luckily for us, it’s back right now and has even more to delight our tastebuds and bellies.

Panda Express Is Offering Firecracker Steak and Shrimp This Spring

Panda Express

Panda Express fans, get ready. Your favorite Firecracker Shrimp is back—but with a meatier twist this time around. Say hello to your next must-try: Firecracker Steak and Shrimp.

Made similar to the version we’ve previously enjoyed, the offering comes packed with stir-fried shrimp tossed in a wok with red and yellow bell peppers, onions, and string beans, all smothered in the chain’s own signature Firecracker sauce.

However, this upgraded version of the beloved menu item also adds sirloin steak bites into the mix, along with whole dry chili peppers and fermented black beans to pack even more heat and bold kick.

Firecracker Shrimp first appeared on the menu at Panda Express back in 2020 and has been on and off since as a special, limited-time item. Last year, when it made its comeback, we couldn’t get to our nearest restaurant fast enough before it left again.

Just like before, this latest takeout favorite won’t last long on the menu. Starting now, you can try the new Firecracker Steak and Shrimp until May 27, while supplies last. We know where we are heading for our lunch break.
