By applying the Keeton and Petters technique, we find the deflection angle as a series expansion with a specific factor of mass. We investigate the shadow structure of a regular black hole with cosmic string with a non-magnetized, pressure-free plasma around it. In order to separate the Hamilton equation and locate the photon areas, certain plasma distributions are taken into consideration. Moreover, by utilizing a new ray-tracing technique, we analyze the photon’s path around a regular black hole with cosmic string in the presence of plasma whose density depends on the radius coordinate. We also analyze the plasma effects on the shadow of black hole. We obtain an analytical formula that describes the boundary curve of the shadow for such a black hole in an expanding universe for an observer at any finite location outside the horizon. In the presence and absence of plasma, we detect deviations that are further investigated by analyzing the geometry of shadow angle at a particular value of plasma frequency.
