With vibrant flavors and exciting new menu items, Red Lobster is set to captivate seafood lovers once again with the return of its beloved Lobsterfest event. Launching nationwide on Tuesday, Jan. 20, this seafood celebration promises a limited-time menu packed with indulgent lobster dishes and celebratory cocktails. “This year’s Lobsterfest leans into fun, craveable creativity, spotlighting new menu items alongside iconic favorites for lobster lovers who want it all,” shares a press release from the restaurant chain.
One standout dish is the Create Your Own Lobster Lover’s Dream, which allows diners to mix and match two or three lobster-themed menu selections to create a custom plate. Options include the Lobster Pasta au Gratin, featuring Maine and langostino lobster tossed with cavatappi pasta in a creamy lobster cheese sauce, and the Crispy Dragon Teriyaki Lobster, a crispy Maine Lobster Tail tossed in a sweet and spicy teriyaki sauce. Classic favorites like Maine Lobster Tail, Rock Lobster Tail, and Lobster & Shrimp Linguini are also available for those craving traditional seafood fare.
Additionally, Red Lobster introduces the Lobsterfest Duo, which includes a returning fan-favorite item after 18 years called “LobsterChops,” grilled split Maine lobster tails wrapped around sea scallops. This dish is paired with a roasted Maine tail and served with two sides. The Lobsterfest Boil offers a lobster-forward twist on the viral seafood boil trend, featuring Maine lobster tails, shrimp, corn, and red potatoes served tableside in a steaming bag with customizable flavor and spice levels.
To complement these delectable dishes, sip on the restaurant’s signature cocktails like The Lobstar, a triple-citrus margarita shaken with Hennessy VS and Grand Marnier, and served with a take-home Red Lobster claw shaker. Other refreshing options include the Shoreline Spritz with Grey Goose and Wycliff Sparkling Wine, and the Dockside Sipper with Casamigos Reposado, fresh lime, honey, and grenadine.
As Red Lobster continues to elevate its menu offerings, recent additions for the holiday season include festive cocktails and seasoning choices like Lemon Pepper Butter, Old Bay & Butter, and RL Signature Butter. Limited-time cocktails such as Under the Mistletoe, Sugar Cookie Delight, and Snowglobe Sangria added a touch of seasonal flair to the dining experience.
Red Lobster’s Lobsterfest event promises a tantalizing lineup of bold flavors and exciting new choices for seafood enthusiasts. Whether enjoying classic favorites or exploring innovative dishes, diners are in for a seafood feast that’s sure to delight their taste buds.
