Red Lobster - Endless Shrimp

[yuprules]

nov 9th should be the official end date as i am going to the new menu meeting on the 7th and it takes 2 days for us kitchen guys to cook the new stuff properly

Ah ha, so they are putting all the STOCK onto the buffet menu to empty the fridge/freezer for the new menu, I knew it Still a good deal though, yum!

Just saying man I don't think people realize how bad it is to be downing that much shrimp!

to his their own, you could say that about a million things but it's a 'hot deal' not in the food forum and the title's not "how many endless shrimps dinners do I need to eat before it shortens my life span by a day"

I've had it once or twice and it's pretty oily/buttery but if you don't have it every day it's all good. Gotta treat yourself once in a while.

Shrimp is a wonderful thing. the poorman's lobster.

How many should you eat to fully pay out the $20?

40+?

If we have a family of 4, could we share with each other? Like if we only order for 2 people....since everyone ordering would be too much food for everyone....Also, could we order a different shirmp everytime? like we pay for 21.95 and then we could try 1 selection each time we finish?

Funny thing, lobster was once considered a poor man's food.

In terms of raw food cost, I'd say around 200-300. I'd say closer to 300 since I doubt they use real butter.

Cold water shrimp are quite small used in food production, most
medium size shrimp come from fresh water farms in warm countries,
Vietiam etc. Remember shrimp are garbage feeders no gills.

I don't think you can order 2 for 4 people. You can change the shrimp type each round.

Did you know that there are also Canadian small cold-water shrimps?
I have only seen them in 1 or 2 stores though as they are expensive.

Clearwater seafoods online sells them.

Also that most shrimps are preserved with phosphate preservatives.
Unless it specifically says on the package that it is not in the ingredients.
All the grocery store shrimps have it.

but..i have seen a few kinds that do not have preservatives.
I have frozen shrimp preserved with just salt in my freezer.
It was $20 for 1lb though of extra jumbo shrimp.

I really want to go to red lobster for the stuffed mushrooms and bisucuits
