Red Lobster is kicking off the summer with the return of its Lobster & Shrimp Summerfest featuring six limited-time dishes.

During Lobster & Shrimp Summerfest, guests can enjoy summer-inspired dishes like the NEW! Coastal Lobster and Shrimp – featuring 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.

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.
