Board 8 > Endless Shrimp at Red Lobster beated

(+) Yeah! (+)

went with some friends

Secret Menu consisted of Coconut Shrimp and Popcorn Shrimp,that was it

Started with Sesame grilled Shrimp and Alfredo. yes, I know, its filler but its still my favorite and I can put alot away

Sesame was actually really good! The sauce was nice, I didn't care for the rice though, it was kinda hard. I don't know if its because its supposed to be or it was made bad but eh

Alfredo is on point as always, you should always crack some pepper over it, the pepper shaker at RL is always a grinder so its better than normal pepper

I ordered another Sesame (with no rice, didn't want to waste food) and scampi next

my friends ordered a fiesta and I just tried one off of theirs

Chaostony is right to a degree, that it felt cheap, but I think I felt different about the word. IIRC he liked it but said its just Taco Bell cheese with Shrimp, but my thought is slightly deeper. I just think its cheap they put "Shrimp with cheese" on the menu over other past menu options. Its fine, but a cop out, I basically make this at Golden Corral every time I go there. It was a wasted slot

Fiesta Shrimp at Red Lobster is the Isabelle of Endless Shrimp

so anyways
Coconut shrimp was pretty nice, I never had a super high opinion on it but maybe they were just on the ball. and it was slightly spicy, I don't remember it being that way either

I had at least 6 plates and I had 3 alfredos and Sesame

Scampi was on point too, I think the cooks today were super inspired or something. Nothing was subpar (other than the rice but like I said maybe its just that rice)

so yea, I was disappointed there wasn't too much variety but I still had a good time eating my fill

as per usual, on my third to last plate, when I feel like I'm winding down, I won't finish my plate but still order my next two shrimps.
When THOSE arrive, I'll just kinda nurse them but keep everything together and make it look like I"m eating it

then order my last plate, kinda nurse it as well

then when the waiter arrives again, I'll ask for a to go plate and have a little bit of 6 different orders to take home

all part of the keikaku

Damn a lot of red lobsters don't let you take to go with endless shrimp.

I have literally done that every time I've gone

I guess they just do it to get a decent tip
---

also every "refill" of the sesame shrimp they gave out only one skewer instead of the initial two

so I didn't eat THAT much shrimp

also I actually stopped myself on purpose because we were still gonna do a few things while we were in the city. i could've done like 3 more plates of I wanted

I normally do Shrimp as the last thing we do and I eat myself into a stuffed coma

I'm actually proud of myself!

Its funny you say this, because my first thought when I tried it was these taste exactly like Golden Corralls popcorn shrimp.

First time we went they were big about not taking anything. Second time we went the waitress offered to get us two orders to go. So I guess it depends on your waiter but I have heard many places don't let you at all and some won't even let you order another order til you finish your current one.

this is a topic

Went with a friend today as well so I'll throw mine in here.

Secret menu at the one I went to had popcorn, coconut, and plain grilled.

Ended up eating a load of the sesame-grilled because they were lovely, a somewhat sweet flavor but it was nice with all the other flavors.

Coconut bites were of course a favorite (can't get enough of that sauce). Ate one round of popcorn but honestly without a good sauce it's just inferior coconut bites.

Had several rounds of the fiesta (without the pico). It was pretty damn good, in that 'addictive to just snack on' way.

Had one of the plain grilled but that was a mistake, it was honestly disappointing because my friend had gotten it and they were doing a light butter sauce but when I got around to it no dice, just literally plain.

Got an order of the linguini to go along with coconut bites. I tapped out at 154 shrimp because my friend dropped out at 86 and it's like 'well I don't want to sit here another hour while you're not eating.'

That is a lot of shrimp!

vcharon and I beated the endless shrimp tonight as well, however we couldn't get the platinum trophy.

I started off with the garlic grilled scampi and the hand-breaded and our server Pam was kind enough to provide me with some cocktail sauce so shout out to her. Char started with both the new shrimp. I'll throw my hat into the same ring most everyone is and agree that the fiesta shrimp was underwhelming. Just tastes like popcorn shrimp with (cheap) nacho cheese and tomatoes on top. That's the only one I didn't end up getting, hence no platinum for me.

The new sesame grilled shrimp was amazing, but not on the level of Nashville hot which will be sorely missed. Char's came on a bed of wild rice (it was good, and not too crunchy), and mine did not because it wasn't my first choice, but I did get two bowls of the scampi and char only got one. Our Red Lobster also had the coconut bites, popcorn shrimp, and plain grilled shrimp on their secret endless menu. Those coconut bites? Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh, those coconut bites. Easily my new favorite of the options I could actually order, and to think I never would've known about them if not for YOU guys! That sauce? Spectacular.

Had to get my shrimp linguini to go because after four orders, the Caesar salad, and a Bahama Mama I was done. At least I was wise enough to avoid all but one of the cheddar bay biscuits! Char ate half of his linguini and all the shrimp out of it (before he knew taking it in a to go box was an option) so Pam offered to bring him plain grilled so he wouldn't be shrimpless. Also my coconut bites came out a little dark, but I thought they tasted fine and totally not burnt, and Pam without even asking automatically put in for another order to make up for it. She was seriously the MVP of the night.

5/5 experience. We'll go back next time they run this special.

They usually give you a set amount per plate. Multiply plates by that number.

Man shellfish allergies must blow

@VeryInsane I've always wondered does this kind of allergy mean scallops and mussels are also off limits or are mollusks a shelled fish of a different nature?

You just do a quick count as each plate arrives (not too long a process, most are standardized) and then for the final you just take note of whatever you didn't finish.

Yes, those are off limits, any kind of crustacean too, and clams/oysters

I don't think I could live in a world without scallops, crab, or shrimp.
