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.

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.

    I used to work at Red Lobster 25+ years ago. We had a crab tortellini soup that was so good. I’ve tried to recreate it with no luck. Do you happen to have a recipe? I’ll be making your clam chowder recipe ASAP.

      Jackie , I also worked for Red Lobster in the 80s. Store 366 in Ohio.
      Do you remember where we got the sweet and sour sauce ? I remember it was darker and more tangy than they have now. I always had it with my chicken finger manager meals.HELP ME FIND A RECIPE PLEASE
