Red Lobster Crispy Dragon Shrimp Platter — Price & Calories 2026
Price: $48.99 | 4010 Calories
Red Lobster Crispy Dragon Shrimp platter
The Red Lobster Crispy Dragon Shrimp Platter 2026 is one of the boldest and most talked-about sharing platters on the Red Lobster Hot Platters menu, priced at $48.99 with approximately 4010 calories for the full platter. This platter features a generous, shareable portion of crispy fried shrimp tossed in Red Lobster’s bold spicy dragon sauce — the same sauce that makes the individual Crispy Dragon Shrimp starter one of the most searched items on the menu, now scaled up for group dining.
The “dragon sauce” combines spicy, sweet, and tangy elements to create a glaze that coats each crispy shrimp piece without compromising the satisfying crunch of the fried coating. This bold flavor profile has made the Crispy Dragon Shrimp one of the fastest-growing items on the Red Lobster menu, with both the starter and platter versions consistently among the most ordered options.
At approximately 4010 calories for the full platter, when divided among four diners the per-person calorie count is approximately 718 calories reasonable for a sharing platter that functions as either a full meal component or a very substantial shared appetizer.
From Starter to Platter — Scaling Up the Dragon Shrimp Experience
The Crispy Dragon Shrimp is available in two formats at Red Lobster in 2026.
The individual starter at $13.49 and 1,010 calories is a single-serving appetizer designed for one guest.
The Hot Platter at $48.99 and 4,010 calories is a large sharing portion designed for three to four guests delivering approximately four times the portion of the individual starter for approximately 3.6 times the price.
Why the Crispy Dragon Shrimp Platter Stands Out
Among the Red Lobster Hot Platters menu 2026, the Crispy Dragon Shrimp Platter is unique for its bold, spicy-sweet flavor profile, a contrast to the sweeter Coconut Shrimp Platter and the cheese based Crab Queso Platter. This makes it the preferred choice for groups who want a bolder, more adventurous flavor experience in a sharing format.
The platter is also one of the most popular choices for game day gatherings, parties, and casual group dining, where bold, finger-food-friendly dishes are in high demand.
