We spent 8 hours trying every 'Endless Shrimp' flavor at Red Lobster - here's the best and worst

Red Lobster's "Endless Shrimp" promotion is a yearly phenomenon. And as two shrimp-loving reporters, we couldn't help but wonder: How endless is the shrimp?

So, last week we dedicated ourselves to a crustaceous crusade, spending nearly eight hours consuming more than 300 shrimp. During that time, we tried every shrimp flavor on Red Lobster's Endless Shrimp menu - and a few that aren't.

Some shrimp truly dazzled us, leaving us scraping our plates even after stuffing ourselves to our physical limits.

Others, we would have been happy to let grow cold on our plate, if not for our need to continue in our shrimpy quest.

There's even one shrimp that hasn't yet debuted on Red Lobster's Endless Shrimp menu, but we had a chance to try it before restaurants begin serving the newcomer on Monday.

Here's our rating of Red Lobster's Endless Shrimp options, from the worst to the best.
