Red Lobster Endless Shrimp Price

Red Lobster has not published one fixed nationwide price for this promotion. Reports from the August 2026 return point to a range of roughly $24.99 to $29.99 depending on the market, and pricing has shifted between the spring and fall runs. Treat any number you see online as an estimate rather than a guarantee.

Price disclaimer: Prices and promotions vary by location and may change without notice. Confirm the current Endless Shrimp price with your local Red Lobster or the official app before you visit.

How Endless Shrimp Works

Endless Shrimp is a dine in exclusive, so it is not available for to go, delivery, or curbside orders. Guests start by picking two shrimp dishes from the five available flavors, served together on one plate with a choice of side. Once that plate is finished, servers bring refills of whichever flavor the table wants, repeated as many times as needed.

Unlimited Cheddar Bay Biscuits come standard with the promotion, just like they do with most Red Lobster entrees. For background on the biscuits themselves and other add on sides, see the biscuits and extras menu.

2026 Return Timeline

Endless Shrimp was gone from Red Lobster for about two years. It resurfaced in 2026 with two separate runs. The first started April 20, 2026, as a limited spring offer. The second started August 17, 2026, and brought the new Garlic Bread-Crusted Shrimp flavor with it. Each run lasted only a few weeks at participating locations, so neither one stuck around year round.

Because the promotion keeps starting and stopping, checking current availability matters more than checking last month’s news. Red Lobster’s deals and specials page is the place to confirm whether Endless Shrimp is actively running before you drive out for it.

Endless Shrimp vs the Regular Shrimp Menu

Endless Shrimp is not a permanent menu category. The everyday shrimp menu includes entrees like Walt’s Favorite Shrimp, Garlic Shrimp Scampi, and Seaside Shrimp Trio. You can order those any day at a fixed price. Endless Shrimp borrows most of those same preparations, then adds unlimited refills for a limited time only. That refill option is why the price runs higher than any single shrimp entree on its own.

If Endless Shrimp is not currently running at your location, every one of these shrimp styles is still available a la carte on the shrimp menu at its regular single serving price.

Ordering and Customizing Your Endless Shrimp

You can mix flavors freely within a visit, so there is no need to commit to one shrimp style for the whole meal. Sides typically follow the same options as regular entrees, so ask your server which substitutions are allowed during the promotion. Some guests add a starter or dessert on top of Endless Shrimp, which is billed separately from the promotion price.

Price disclaimer: Prices and promotions vary by location and may change without notice. Ask your server to confirm what is included, what costs extra, and the current price before you order.

Nutrition and Allergen Notes

Every flavor in the Endless Shrimp lineup contains shellfish, and several also include wheat from breading or linguini plus dairy from butter and cream sauces. Because portions are unlimited, total calorie and sodium intake can add up fast compared to ordering one shrimp entree. Guests managing allergies or dietary limits should treat this promotion with extra caution given the mix and match format. For a full ingredient and allergen breakdown by dish, visit the ingredients and allergens page or the nutrition guide.
