No need to go to the restaurant when you can make these favorite Red Lobster recipes at home. These easy copycat recipes are perfect for a flavorful homemade dinner with simple ingredients.
Who doesn’t love the Red Lobster? You can get delicious seafood there, and those biscuits are unforgettable. Enjoy these great recipes from the Red Lobster.
Cocktail Recipes
Red Lobster offers lots of tasty cocktails. The Dew Garita rose to great popularity as soon as it was available.
The Red Lobster Mai Tai is their version of the classic Tikki drink.
Biscuit Recipe
There are a few items I really enjoy at the Red Lobster. Their Cheddar Bay Biscuits are some of the best around. Honestly, I can’t think of a better biscuit than one of theirs. Hot, buttery, and fluffy – they are so hard to resist.
Once you sit down and enjoy a biscuit or two it’s time for some of their famous appetizers.
Appetizer Recipes
The perfect combination of seafood and Mexican is the Shrimp Nachos. So much to love with chips, shrimp, cheese sauce, jalapenos, tomatoes, and sour cream!
Crispy Parrot Bay Coconut Shrimp with pineapple coconut dipping sauce is a wonderful start to a meal.
Bacon Wrapped Scallops is a delicious and impressive appetizer that is easy to make at home.
Side Dish and Soup Recipes
Corn is a great side dish for seafood, especially lobster and crab. The Chesapeake Corn on the Cob is deliciously seasoned with Old Bay.
Red Lobster Brussels Sprouts with brown butter glaze is healthy, low carb, and keto-friendly too.
One of the best seafood soups is Clam Chowder. It is thick, rich, and full of clams.
Entree Recipes
Now let’s move on to the entrees. One of my favorites is their Crab Alfredo, now if you don’t have crab, you may want to substitute shrimp for this dish.
Crab Alfredo is lump crab meat tossed with fettuccine and a creamy sauce. Topped with parmesan, this is a delightful meal.
Shrimp Pasta with creamy garlic white wine sauce.
Shrimp Scampi with garlic butter sauce and toasted breadcrumbs.
Cajun Shrimp for when you are craving a spicy seafood meal. It has a real kick of heat to tantalize your taste buds.
Sauce Recipe
Red Lobster Tartar Sauce to go with fried fish is a must!

I LOVE the Lobster. When I was a kid, we drove 40 or 50 miles to eat there. I have great memories of my family and Red Lobster!

That’s interesting, the stock analysts have move Darden to sell due to poor 4th quarter earnings, and a muted forecast for 2014. Here are some of the news stories that have been in the news lately. http://www.orlandosentinel.com/business/os-red-lobster-not-closing-20131227,0,916437.story

Darden has sold the Red Lobster part of their company. Darden is still Olive Garden, Longhorn, Bahama Breeze.. (cant remember if there is another one) But Red Lobster, questionable at first…on it’s own…is still going strong!!
Rhonda Dunlap
I had no idea Red Lobster was in trouble!! 🙁 I love them and their delicious Cheddar Bay Biscuits. Thank you for including that recipe. I am going to try it this weekend. 🙂
stephaniemanley
I hope you enjoy the recipe. I know I love their coconut shrimp!

Hi Stephanie–I hadn’t heard about Red Lobster’s troubles, but it’s not a place we frequent. I do love my gf version of their biscuits though. 😉 So thank you so much for including them in your roundup! Just by looking at the recipe titles, I’d say that you have all their best recipes covered here. Will check them out to see which ones I’d like to convert to gf (if they’re not already).
Thanks again!

I know so many people want gluten free foods, while I don’t specialize in them, I understand special needs. I am just starting to do a little gluten free baking.
I did hear that Darden may want to sell off this arm of their business. I hope they can hang on to them.

Hi Stephanie – Do you have by any chance the recipe for the Cesar Salad dressing from Red Lobster’s Restaurant? I’ve tried many different brands, but there is noting like Red Lobster’s. I was hoping to see it in the stores as other restaurants products are. In the mean time I have continue to purchase it directly from the restaurant …and there’s a distance to travel …
stephaniemanley
I don’t have a similar recipe. I can do a really nice Caesar dressing, but it won’t be an exact match. They will be using a few items in here that aren’t common to the home kitchen.
