Last night we went out for my Birthday dinner. Usually it’s something like sushi or (when I ate meat) a big juicy steak, but this time I went for something a little different. We went to Red Lobster! I recently saw the commercial for their “Endless Shrimp” dinner and thought it would be tasty, and it was actually pretty good! You get your choice from five different kinds of shrimp, plus one side and a salad. Here’s a quick summary of the shrimp offererings, ordered from least favorite to favorite:

• Breaded: Just a basic type. You need some kind of sauce with this. Breading fills you up.
• Coconut Shrimp: Sweet, almost candy-like breading. Can’t eat too many of these.
• Cajun: A little spicy, and lots of flavor. Too much salt, though.
• Shrimp Scampi: Garlicky and oily. Very tasty but a little too salty.
• Teriyaki Grilled: Nice grilled flavor, and tasty sauce. Very much reminiscent of yakitori. Shrimp seemed a little more plump too.

A nice glass of Samuel Adams oktoberfest accompanied the meal, which was perfect. I ate so much shrimp, maybe about six or seven orders so I think I am done with shrimp for a good long while!
