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

I loved that dark red sweet calamari sauce and would also buy extra servings. No one that I’ve mentioned it to has any idea what I’m talking about, even long-time Red Lobster employees.
hi Stephanie!! do you by chance, have the recipe for the yummy dipping sauce that is served with the coconut shrimp??
Hi Stephanie, I was wondering, Do you have the receipes for 1) Red Lobster’s lemon garlic butter dip for their crabs and lobsters 2) Red Lobster’s butter (it’s amazing)? I love your website, it’s a god-send. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Thank you for your note. I do not have either recipe. You may want to try my recipe for Papa John’s Garlic Dipping Sauce though.
It is clarified butter with garlic. https://platform-causeway.live/papa-johns-garlic-dipping-sauce/%3C/p%3E
SAMs clubs have mix for the biscuits and they sell olive gardens salad dressing. We have tried both and they are just as amazing as in the restaurants.

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!!
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. 🙂
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 …
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.
