Red Lobster menu items are a dream for seafood lovers, from their delicious appetizers and main courses to their famous Cheddar Bay Biscuits. If you’re hooked on Red Lobster and can’t seem to get enough, these copycat recipes will come to the rescue. Now, you can create an entire seafood spread of Red Lobster favorites using simple ingredients and cooking techniques.
Red Lobster offers lots of tasty cocktails. Here are a couple of options that stand out for their delicious taste.
Dew Garita
The Dew Garita offers a refreshing taste with hints of orange, lemon, and melon. With its bright green color and simple ingredients, you can shake this drink up in no time.
Red Lobster has some of the best biscuits around. If the biscuits are what you look forward to the most when visiting the restaurant, then this copycat recipe is for you.
Cheddar Bay Biscuits
Recreate the hot, butter, and fluffy Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits anytime, and maybe even throw in some extra cheese if you want.
Start your Red Lobster feast on the right foot when you make one of these incredibly succulent appetizers. Or, make one of these menu items when you’re in the mood for a satisfying snack!
Shrimp Nachos
This appetizer is packed with wildly delicious ingredients: tortilla chips with shrimp, cheese sauce, jalapenos, tomatoes, and sour cream to top it off.
Red Lobster’s Coconut Shrimp is for all of the fried food fans out there. It has a savory and sweet balance, perfect for dipping in the accompanying Pina Colada Coconut Shrimp Sauce.
What’s one way to take scallops to the next level? Wrap them in bacon, of course. Enjoy Red Lobster’s appetizer with sea scallops and bacon in a butter wine sauce.
Instead of making an ordinary pizza, give your pizza a facelift by making Red Lobster’s version with homemade crust, basil, an Italian six-cheese blend, and tender lobster meat.
You can’t enjoy the full Red Lobster experience without making some soups or sides! Here are some delicious menu options that can help complete your meal.
Chesapeake Bay Corn on the Cob
Corn pairs wonderfully with seafood like lobster and crab; this corn is cooked to perfection by boiling it and finishing it off with butter and Old Bay seasoning.
These Brussels sprouts have a brown butter glaze with salt and pepper, giving them a complex flavor, making for a low-carb side dish bursting with flavor.
Make a memorable dinner reminiscent of your favorite main course from Red Lobster. Whether you prefer pasta with your seafood or a protein-packed entrée to pair with sides, you can find it here.
Crab Alfredo
Jazz up traditional alfredo pasta by making the restaurant-classic version with succulent crab, nutty parmesan, and a hint of cream cheese.
Stock up on your favorite Red Lobster sauces by making these copycat recipes and having them readily available in your refrigerator to enjoy with various foods!
Pina Colada Coconut Shrimp Sauce
This pineapple and coconut dipping sauce is undoubtedly best when served with the Coconut Shrimp, but its adaptable enough to enjoy with other foods, too.
Replicating your favorite restaurant dishes doesn’t have to be hard. With these copycat Red Lobster recipes, you can recreate dishes that taste like they came straight out of a Red Lobster kitchen. Or, use these recipes as inspiration and add your own twist to Red Lobster classics.
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.
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
Thank you for your suggestion.
How about the sauce they put over mashed potatoes? It has cheese and shrimp and butter in it!
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!!
If possible, please provide the recipe for Red Lobster”s Bay Harbor lobster bake which contains small Maine lobster tails,shrimp,scallops,mussells and tomatoes over a bed of linguini in white wine sauce. Any help you give will be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you in advance!
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!
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?
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!
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.
Thank you so much for this! I cannot seem to find Stouffer’s whipped sweet potatoes anywhere… do you know where they carry them?
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.
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?

Stephanie – Do you have a recipe for Red Lobsters Tarter Sauce?
Do you have a recipe for Red Lobster’s original key lime pie? They changed the recipe about 15 years ago and I have never been able to find something remotely close to the original.
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?

No, but it sounds like something I need to try.
I would love it if you would. I can’t find it anywhere.

I don’t have that recipe, thank you for the suggestion.
