Red Lobster is celebrating summer with the return of Lobster & Shrimp Summerfest, featuring six limited-time seasonally-inspired dishes, including NEW! Cape Cod Shrimp and Chips – featuring Cape Cod kettle chip-crusted shrimp.
During the event, guests are invited to discover new ways to enjoy two favorite seafood proteins – lobster and shrimp – prepared to perfection with summertime flavors inspiring the menu, such as sweet-and-smoky BBQ sauce on Red Lobster’s wood-fire grill, crunchy chip-crusted shrimp with a cool, green onion dipping sauce, pasta with juicy tomatoes, fresh green onion, garlic and basil and more.
“We developed the menu with a focus on giving guests new ways to enjoy lobster and shrimp with their favorite flavors of summer,” said Dustin Hilinski, Executive Chef and Director of Culinary, Red Lobster. “For example, for our Cape Cod chip-crusted shrimp, we took the concept of summertime classics, like crispy, crunchy potato chips that you can’t eat just one of to inspire a new, innovative way to enjoy seafood.”

NEW! Coastal Lobster and Shrimp: Cape Cod kettle chip-crusted shrimp with green onion dip, grilled wild-caught red shrimp with sweet-and-smoky BBQ sauce, and a grilled lobster tail. Served with rice and grilled zucchini and squash.
