depends on management but the basic idea is that most people will fill up on biscuits salad and alfredo and only need another 6-12 shrimp after that. if youre not a big fat pig you wont feel ripped off. or at least thats how it used to be when i went out 10 years ago
As somebody who spent weeks living on combination of toaster paninis, frozen pizza, kebab and shrimp, I can assure you that there is no way the plain garlic shrimp are worth that much.
Frozen peeled shrimp are 10 bucks a pound here so you'd need to eat around 3 pounds to get your money's worth. There are about 21-25 shrimp in a pound so 63-75 shrimp.
that's the magic. theses are not big delicious jumbo wild caught shrimp. they are small and cheap so the restraunt won't lose money unless you eat 75 if them.
they are served in a variety caloric value added preparations that further retard ones appetite. drenched in oil/ butter, coveted with thick batter, mixed in to heavy pasta.
when tried thus shit in college the lightest preparation was scampi. so even focusing on that and avoiding the breading and pasta got old fast.
Not a fair comparison. When you go to Red Lobster, you're not just paying for the shrimp. You're also paying for the loving and elaborate preparation of the shrimp, the inimitable ambiance, that firecracker of a waitress' smile that takes your breath away.
Life is about more than optimizing utility functions, breakeven analysis, etc.
I did the AYCE shrimp at Red Lobster a while back and it was really disappointing. I just wanted shrimp but everything I ordered was a pile of noodles with a handful of over cooked shrimp added on. And yeah they were really slow, almost like the servers tried to disappear when they knew you were about to finish the plate. Then took like 15 minutes to get another one. The skewers definitely seem better though, I'd have ordered those instead of pasta.
Probably. A coworker wanted to go to an AYCE pizza place for his goodbye lunch; it was a massive disappointment. Turns out "AYCE" was them bringing out tiny single slices of the weirdest shit imaginable about once every 20-30 minutes, with a time limit of an hour and a half.
I think we all left still starving, having had three or four tiny slices of crap like "potato and egg pizza".
Are we haggling? I could eat a lot of shrimps but if you're saying you won't give me the $27 unless I eat 1,000 of them or something I won't sign your waiver.
The best ones were prolly.....walts favorite or the dragon.....the grilled ones on skewers were also based as fuck. They tasted a lot fresher than all the deepfried ones. Less rubbery. Side note if you order the alfredoshrimp it comes with pasta! The grilled skewers came on a small bed of wild rice. The dragon ones came with a garnish but I cant remember what it was.
Not enough for it to be worth $27. Shrimping ain't easy
I've never done these endless X sort of things, but I'd always figured that's how it'd work.
That's why you hunt them down and tell them to keep it coming

>wants favourite
I didn't know red lobster was in Europe too, guess that's why they closed here
Total opposite is how it works, the cooks make 6 or 7 portions of the shrimp ready to go at all times
93 Ive ate at red lobsters endless shrimp before
Where I'm at its like 22 bucks. I fill up at 4 shrimp options. Usually the Rangoon, walts and 2 skewers.

Damn, take your coworkers to cicis and show him how a grown man eats cheap pizza cooked for children

I could probably get down about 20 shrimp in one sitting, then suffer for eating so much fried crap at once
It was only 20$ for me up in Rapid City SD

I couldn’t ever eat more than a pound of shrimp. And a pound of raw shrimp is 7to8$
and shrimp is incredibly quick and easy to cook
We eat so many shrimp, we got iodine poisonin'
