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 know you have a lot of requests. But would love to have the recipe for the Red Lobster deviled crab cakes that they don’t longer have on their menu. Would love to surprise my sister and make it for her birthday as this was her favorite. And I love them too. She was a red lobster hostess when the red lobster restaurant first opened in San Antonio.
Stephanie
I appreciate your request!
Vicki
Dearest Stephanie, it would be truly awesome if you could find the recipe for what was their sweet and sour dip sauce. It was used for many, many years. Throughout the 80, 90 and into the 2000. I used it for the chicken strip. Thank you
Stephanie Manley
Thank you for your suggestion.
Paula Lynch
How about the sauce they put over mashed potatoes? It has cheese and shrimp and butter in it!
Stephanie
Thank you for your suggestion.
Christa
Do you have the jalapeño ranch sauce for the southwest style tacos at Red Lobster?

No, but it sounds like something I need to try.

Hi Stephanie, I loved the older version of Red Lobsters Sweet and Sour Sauce. I didn’t care for the newer recipe. Do you have the older one ?

Thank you Barbara, I am sorry I never tried their Sweet and Sour sauce before. So I don’t happen to have an older version, but I will keep my eyes open for it!

Hi Stephanie: Did you by chance figure out the recipe for Red Lobster whipped sweet potatoes yet? I am REALLY wanting this recipe so I can fake my wife out and make something she thinks I can’t!!

DIANA
I had the most amazing Whipped Sweet Potatoes topped with pecans at Red Lobster. Do you have the recipe?
Joanie
I had them last night and can’t stop thinking about them. They were the best part of the meal – even better than the Cheddar Bay biscuits, which is saying a lot. I hope someone comes up with the copycat recipe soon!
Darelynn Clay
I just had these the other night, and I, too, can’t stop thinking about them. I thought I also tasted a hint of a really light fluffy marshmallow-butter?…or what was the white dabs on it?
Blake
I also want the recipe for these. They are so good (& not the same as the Bourbon Pecan Sweet Potatoes)! I hope Stephanie has this recipe soon since they ate a limited time item!
Blake
…*are* a limited time item.
Michelle R. Wright
I felt the same way about these whipped sweet potatoes!! I thought for sure there was some exotic ingredient or interesting preperation method. I have been searching for a copycat recipe, and just decided to call the local red lobsters in my area and ask if they sell ‘catering size’ of this dish for dinner parties OR would they be willing to share the recipe. It isn’t their recipe! I just found out from a Red Lobster manager that these are actually Stouffer’s whipped sweet potatoes from the grocery store! They just add a pat of real butter and their candied pecans. The manager said you can make your own candied pecans by using just honey roasted pecans that you roast in the oven yourself in butter/brown sugar/cinnamon or whatever you like to add as a topping.
Amy
Thank you so much for this! I cannot seem to find Stouffer’s whipped sweet potatoes anywhere… do you know where they carry them?
Stephanie
I haven’t seen them. They may offer that to restaurants only. I will see what I can do about doing this recipe before the holidays.
Jennifer
Hi Stephanie I was wondering if you had this recipe for the whipped sweet potatoes from Red Lobster. Please please can I get this from you?

Micki
Do you have a recipe for Red Lobster’s Thousand Island sales dressing?
Sandra
I’m desperately seeking two recipes and can’t seem to find them! One is the lobster sauce used by Olive Garden for some of their pastas (that they took off the menu much to my disappointment). The other is the shrimp lettuce wraps that we just tried at Red Lobster. Both are AMAZING. Any suggestions on those?
Rose Araceley
I’ve been looking for that recipe (shrimp lettuce wraps) myself, but haven’t been able to find it. Can you help?
Shelby Reynolds
The lettuce wraps are just popcorn shrimp
Soy ginger glaze (brown sugar, soy sauce, butter, and ginger)
Dry cole slaw with cilantro
