Red Lobster® Bacon-Wrapped Stuffed Shrimp
It's shrimp, it's bacon, it's cheese; what's not to like?
It's one of the latest tasty appetizers on the Red Lobster
menu, and now you can dupe it at home. Find some large shrimp,
a wooden skewer, and cook the bacon about halfway to done before
you begin. Mix up a clone of Red Lobster's top secret seasoning
and the cilantro-ranch dipping sauce, and you're minutes away
from scarfing down a delectable dish that's meant to be a teaser
for what's to come. Looks like you'd better make the main coarse
a real doozy.
Seasoning
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon paprika
dash ground black pepper
dash cayenne pepper
dash allspice
Dipping Sauce
1/3 cup ranch dressing
1/4 teaspoon dried cilantro
(or 1/2 teaspoon fresh minced cilantro)
5 pieces bacon
5 large shrimp
3 slices fresh jalapeno
1 ounce pepper jack cheese
Open the shrimp, put a jalapeno slice in there, a chunk of
cheese on top, and wrap it all up with bacon.
When skewering, be sure to face all the shrimp the right direction
-- like a tight little Rockettes kick line.
1. Preheat oven to broil.
2. Make the seasoning blend by combining the ingredients in a small
bowl. Set this aside.
3. Make the dipping sauce by combining the ranch dressing with
cilantro in a medium bowl.
4. Cook the bacon in a frying pan over medium/high heat, but don't
cook it all the way to crispy. You want undercooked bacon that,
when cool, will easily wrap around the shrimp. Cook the bacon about
3 minutes per side, and don't let it brown. When the bacon is done
lay it on paper towels to drain and cool.
5. Shell the shrimp, leaving the last segment of the shell and the
tail. Remove the dark vein from the back of the shrimp, and then
cut down into the back of the shrimp, without cutting all the way
through, so that the shrimp is nearly butterflied open. This will
make a pocket for the pepper and cheese.
6. Pour 1 cup of water into a small bowl. Add the shrimp and jalapeno
peppers and microwave for 60 to 90 seconds. Shrimp should be starting to firm up and change color. Immediately pour the water out of the bowl, remove the jalapeno slices and pour cold water over the shrimp. Place the the shrimp and jalapeno pepper slices onto paper towels to drain off excess water.
7. Build the appetizer by cutting the jalapeno slices in half and
removing the seeds. You should now have 6 jalapeno slices -- you'll
need 5 of these. Place one slice into the slit on the back of a shrimp. Cut an inch-long chunk of cheese (about 1/4-inch thick), and place it on the jalapeno slice. Wrap a piece of bacon around the shrimp, starting where the cheese is. Start wrapping with the thinnest end of the bacon. Go 1 1/2 times around the shrimp and then cut of the excess bacon and slide a skewer through the shrimp, starting with the end where the cheese is and piercing the cut end of the bacon on the other side. Repeat with the remaining shrimp and slide them onto the skewer with the tails facing the same direction.
8. Put the skewer onto a baking sheet or broiler pan and sprinkle
a very light coating of the seasoning blend over the shrimp, then
broil for 3 to 4 minutes or until the bacon begins to brown and
the cheese begins to ooze. Serve over a bed of rice if desired.
Feed the left over bacon pieces to the dog while you scarf out
on the shrimp.
Serves 2 as an appetizer.

Red Lobster® Cheddar Bay Crab Bake®
Ahoy. Here's a cool clone for a pizza-shaped adaptation
of Red Lobster's famous Cheddar Bay Biscuits, with a
little crab thrown in. If you like those tender, cheesy
biscuits that come with every meal at Red Lobster, then
you'll surely like this new recipe. Plus, it's a cinch
to make. I suggest you use fresh crabmeat as they do in
the restaurants, but if it's only the canned stuff you
have available, no problem. You'll still be able to enjoy
the taste of Red Lobster's appetizer, without having to
leave a tip.
2 cups Bisquick baking mix
1 3/4 cup finely shredded cheddar cheese
2/3 cups milk
2 tablespoons butter, melted and divided
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon fine parsley flakes
1/3 cup crab meat (fresh or canned lump)
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
2. Combine baking mix, 1 cup of the cheddar cheese, milk,
and 1 half of the melted butter in a medium bowl. Mix by
hand until well-combined.
3. Pat out the dough into circle approximately 8 inches in
diameter, with a slight lip around the edge, like a pizza crust.
4. Sprinkle the parsley over the top of the dough. Be sure
the dried parsley flakes are crushed fine. You can easily
crush the flakes in a small bowl with your thumb and forefinger.
5. Sprinkle the crab over the top of the dough.
6. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the crab. Don’t go all
of the way to the edge of the dough – leave a margin of a
half-inch or so around the edge.
7. Bake for 14-16 minutes or until the cheese on top begins
to slightly brown.
8. Combine the remaining butter with the garlic powder and
brush it over the top of the bake as soon as it comes out of
the oven. Slice it like a pizza into 8 pieces and serve hot.
Makes 8 pieces

Red Lobster® Tartar Sauce
Here's a clone for that dollop of sweet, creamy goodness that
comes alongside your fish entree at the world's largest seafood
chain. I've received many e-mail requests for this one, and
there have been several versions posted on the TSR Message
Board. I think you'll find this never-before-revealed clone
recipe gives you a quick and tasty sauce that has the look
and flavor of the real thing. Use the sauce to dress up your
next home-cooked fish platter or as a spread on a variety of
sandwiches.
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 1/2 tablespoons finely minced onion
1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
1 1/2 teaspoons shredded & chopped carrot (bits the size of rice)
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1. Combine all ingredients in a small bowl.
2. Cover and chill.
Makes 4 servings.

Red Robin® Seasoning
Give yourself some time to make a tough decision
because there are nearly two dozen gourmet burgers
on the Red Robin menu to pick from, not to mention
scores of other fantastic food choices. Red Robin
claims its steak fries are world-famous, and when
you get a burger your fries are served up on the
side in a "bottomless" portion. Want some more fries?
Just ask and you can have as many as your belly can
pack in. But we found out that the burgers and fries
have a very special secret ingredient in common that
makes them taste so good: It's the Red Robin seasoning
that's sprinkled on the food. Next time you make a burger,
sprinkle some our version of the seasoning blend over the
patty. Cook up some frozen steak fries or french fries and
sprinkle a little of this blend over the top. You'll all
sorts of uses for this versatile spice. And the recipe
makes a portion that should fit nicely in an empty spice bottle.
3 tablespoons salt
1 tablespoon instant tomato soup mix
(Knorr tomato with basil works great)
2 teaspoons chili powder
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Combine the ingredients in a small bowl and stir well.
Store in a covered container.
Makes 1/3 cup.

Reese's® Peanut Butter Cups
The first Top Secret Recipes book features a version of this
clone recipe for America's most beloved candy creation.
That recipe now sits in just about every collection of
"copycat" recipes passed around the Web. But since 1993,
I've learned a few things about the delicate science of
Reese's Peanut Butter Cup cloning. You know, stuff like:
"Never clone peanut butter cups while crossing a busy
intersection," and "Don't clone peanut butter cups while
under a tall tree in the rain." These are the sort of
handy tips that you don't find anywhere else on the Internet.
These are the things that come with experience, perseverance
and a long, complicated thought process. Over seven years have
passed, and I figured perhaps it was time to share some of the
more useful of these discoveries with all you great folks here
on the site. Now when you make your Reese's clones, you'll know
to use reduced-fat peanut butter for a better texture. Now when
you're craving that delicate combination of flavors, you'll know
to get out the scissors to trim muffin cups for the chocolate.
This is the improved recipe right here, authorized, and in its
entirety! Now you can forget all about that other Reese's clone
formula.
Although, you might want to keep in mind the thing about
the busy intersection.
12 paper muffin cups
One 12-ounce pkg. milk chocolate chips
1 cup reduced-fat peanut butter
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
Paper muffin cups and chocolate -- what a glorious day!
1. Cut the top half off of the muffin cups so that they are
shallower.
2. Pour the chocolate chips into a glass bowl and melt them
in the microwave: Microwave at 50% power for 2 minutes. Stir
the chips gently, and let them sit for a minute or so. If the
chocolate needs more melting, microwave those chippies again at
half power for 30 seconds. Stir gently. Continue the process,
stirring gently as you go. But be very careful not to overcook
the chocolate or it'll seize up on you like day old Carolina roof
tar.
3. Using a teaspoon, spoon a portion of the chocolate into the
middle of a muffin cup. Draw the chocolate up the edges of the
cup with the back of the spoon. Coat the entire inside of the
muffin cup with chocolate and place it into a muffin tin. Repeat
with the remaining muffin cups and then put the whole muffin tin
in the fridge so that the chocolate hardens.
4. Combine the reduced-fat peanut butter, powdered sugar and salt
in a medium bowl.
5. When the chocolate in the muffin cups has hardened, pop the
sweetened peanut butter into the microwave oven on full power
for 1 minute. This will soften up the peanut butter so that it
easily flows into the cups.
6. Spoon a small portion of peanut butter into each of the
chocolate-coated cups. Leave room at the top for an additional
layer of chocolate, which we'll add later. Pop the candy back
in the refrigerator to harden the peanut butter. This should
take an hour or so.
7. When the peanut butter filling has hardened, re-melt the
chocolate chips in the microwave on half power for 30 to 60
seconds. Use a teaspoon to spread a layer of chocolate over
the top of each candy. Chill the candy once again to set up
the chocolate.
8. Finally, remember to take the paper off the outside of the
peanut butter cups before eating them.
Makes 12 candies.

Roadhouse Grill® Roadhouse Cheese Wraps
You'll find the original version of this delectable
Roadhouse Grill signature item in the "starters"
section of the menu. It's a variation on the popular
fried cheese sticks appetizers with spicy jalapeno
peppers in the middle, all wrapped in large spring
roll wrappers before frying. The marinara sauce on
the side is perfect for dipping this tasty cheesy
tidbit. To save time -- and we all like that --
you can use any of your favorite marinara pasta
sauces (such as Ragu) for dipping so you won't have
to whip it up from scratch.
8 thin slices monterey jack cheese
8 thin slices cheddar cheese
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced
1 teaspoon minced fresh chives
4 large spring roll wrappers
1 beaten egg
6 to 10 cups vegetable oil
On the side
Marinara (pasta) sauce
Slice the cheese real thin, add peppers and chives, roll
it all up and give it a good squeeze before wrapping
1. Use a sharp knife to make 8 thin slices each from the
end of standard-size hunks of cheddar and monterey jack cheeses.
2. Arrange 2 slices of cheddar and 2 slices of jack on your hand,
then sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of diced jalapeno on top of the
cheese. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon of minced chives on next. Sandwich
the peppers and chives between the cheese and roll it all up.
Fold the cheese and squeeze it all together so that the peppers
and chives are well sealed into the middle of the cheeses.
3. Lay a spring roll wrapper with one corner pointing away from
you. Arrange the cheese lengthwise on the center of the wrapper.
4. Fold one of the side corners over the cheese filling. Brush a
little beaten egg on the tip of the other side corner and fold it
over the first corner so that it sticks. Brush some beaten egg on
the corner pointing away from you. Fold the bottom corner up and
over the filling. Roll the wrapper up, keeping it tight, until it
rolls over the top corner with the egg on it. It should stick.
Repeat with the remaining rolls, then cover them all and chill
for at least 30 minutes. This will be long enough to heat up the
oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees.
5. When the oil is hot, fry the rolls for 2 1/2 to 3 minutes or
until the outside is golden brown. Drain the rolls on a rack or
paper towels for 2 minutes before serving with your favorite
marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
Serves 2.
