Red Lobster may have discontinued its famous endless shrimp promotion, but it’s bringing back another menu favorite: hush puppies.
Here’s what we know about Red Lobster’s revamped menu.
Hush puppies in, endless shrimp out as Red Lobster looks to grow
Part of a revamped selection to attract more customers, the new menu comes with nine newly-added items, including lobster bisque to bacon-wrapped sea scallops . Red Lobster CEO Damola Adamolekun previously remarked how the endless shrimp deal caused “chaos” in the restaurants and cost the company $11 million.
While he once teased a possible “endless shrimp” comeback, Adamolekun told TODAY that he decided to remove the unlimited shrimp promotion “because I know how to do math.”
Now that the seafood chain has exited bankruptcy , it plans to “be done closing restaurants and intend[s] to grow from here,” Adamolekun told CNN last month. In comes the resurgence of the beloved hush puppies , which he expects will satisfy those awaiting the menu item’s return.
