Our fast-casual, best of the menu culinary trek continues: First it was Applebee's for appetizers, then Outback Steakhouse for Outback Favorites, then TGI Friday's for Sizzling Skillets. Our most recent adventure was at Red Lobster, to find out which was their best shrimp dish.

Menu Overview: There are 5 main courses in the "Shrimp" section, including Walt's Favorite Shrimp (breaded butterflied shrimp), Crunchy Popcorn Shrimp (fried breaded bite-size shrimp), Shrimp Linguine Alfredo (shrimp in garlic-parmesan cream sauce served over linguine), Parrot Isle Jumbo Coconut Shrimp (fried coconut-breaded butterflied shrimp with a "piña colada" sauce) and Shrimp Your Way (you choose a 2- or 3-item combination plate -- shrimp scampi available in this dish).

Wok-Fried Black Pepper Shrimp: Recipe of the Day

Peppers can be hot or mild, like a new love affair or one that's mellowed with age. Gail Simmons explains the ways of the pepper in her Pantry Project video here. And if you're celebrating Valentine's Day today, serve your love Gail's light, easy and peppery shrimp stir-fry. The key to a great stir-fry, Gail says, is a really hot pan, which enables quick cooking without burning, as well as a neutral-tasting oil, such as canola. Along with the shrimp, black pepper, fresh ginger, fresh garlic, green and red peppers and soy sauce (instead of salt) give this dish crunch and plenty of flavor, a little bit hot, a little bit mellow.

Happy National Fried Shrimp Day!

Happy National Fried Shrimp Day!

Calorie counting aside, one would be hard-pressed to argue against the concept of deep-fried food, particularly when it comes to seafood. When covered in crumbled breads and plopped into boiling oil, fresh shrimp takes on added depth, benefitting from a bevy of flavorful crusts and pleasant texture balances.

If you're tired of the usual panko or breadcrumb crusts, we recommend KitchenDaily's Tortilla Crusted Shrimp with Avocado Crema, with a hearty, crunchy crust and cumin-scented dip. It may be a little more work, but like any good recipe, it's well-worth the effort.

Is it Safe to Eat Gulf Seafood?

Many fish and seafood lovers are wondering whether it is safe to buy the fresh wild gulf shrimp on sale at their local markets, while other consumers of unmarked fish worry whether what they're eating came from the Gulf of Mexico. How do they know whether it is contaminated by the oil spill and dangerous to eat?

AOL News's senior public health correspondent, Andrew Schneider, spent the past two weeks investigating who is doing the testing and how seafood safety is determined. Head over to AOL News to read his exclusive report.
