Red Lobster Copycat Recipes

Red Lobster's Cheddar Bay Biscuits have an almost cult following — and they're the easiest Red Lobster copycat to nail at home. The biscuit base is Bisquick (or a from-scratch equivalent: 2 cups flour + 1 tbsp baking powder + butter + milk), shredded sharp cheddar, and the brush-on butter topping with garlic powder and parsley that goes on while they're hot. That butter brush is what makes them taste like the restaurant. Our Red Lobster copycats also cover the Lobsterita (a margarita-Long Island hybrid that's mostly tequila and blue curaçao), the shrimp scampi, and the bacon-wrapped scallops. The biscuits are the gateway recipe — once you make them once, you'll never go back to plain dinner rolls.
