If you like Pina Coladas and getting caught in the rainHello it's Chef Michael LaDuke. Welcome to the Red Lobster Chefs Blog. For first time visitors, thank you very much for stopping by. For all of the return readers, it's great to have you back.Just last week we started our Endless Shrimp promotion with our new Buffalo Shrimp, and so far the response has been great. We also have received a lot of requests for shrimp recipes, sauce recipes, and other great questions about seafood. This week our most popular request has been for the recipe for the Pina Colada dipping sauce on our Parrot Bay Coconut Shrimp. The Pina Colada dipping sauce is one of our most popular sauces and has been a guest favorite for a while. It is also a great sauce to have at home not only for your own dinner, but to also maybe spice up a party or dinner with friends. It's a very versatile sauce for seafood and can be used for chilled shrimp to add island flair to your shrimp cocktail. It can also be used as a dipping sauce for crab cakes to balance the often spicy flavor of the crab cakes themselves. A personal favorite of mine is as an accompaniment to a great piece of blackened fish like Fresh Tilapia or Mahi-Mahi. I think the sweetness of the sauce is a perfect match for the spicy crust of a blackened piece of fresh fish. The recipe is below. I would note that often time's different brands of sour cream are very different in consistency, so you may have to adjust the amount of sour cream to get to the proper consistency, but that is the fun of cooking!!! It is always fun to put your own personal touch on recipes to make them your own! Have Fun! Pinna Colada Dipping Sauce 1 Cup Sour Cream 1 Cup Coco Lopez Pina Colada Mix 1/4 Cup Crushed Pineapple 1 each Fresh Lemon (Juice Only) Method 1. Combine Sour Cream and Coco Lopez in a mixing bowl, and mix together gently. Do not use an electric mixer or over mix by hand as it will cause the sour cream to break down and make sauce too thin 2. Drain crushed Pineapple 3. Fold Crushed Pineapple into cream mixture 4. Finish with juice from one lemon 5. Cover and store refrigerated Enjoy and don't forget to stop by and see what's fresh at Red Lobster today!

Our family and friends enjoy your honey mustard salad dressing. It has encouraged a group of us to eat more salad everday, which has resulted in weight loss, and healthier eating habits. I would love the recipe when you have the time.
