Red Lobster
During my time working at Red Lobster, I was stationed in the kitchen behind the assembly line. I began my duties at the fry station, where I was responsible for frying various foods. As a result of my experience in both the fry and sauté stations, where I gained most of my knowledge in the kitchen. I became skilled in sauteing kinds of pasta such as Cajun Chicken Alfredo, Shrimp Alfredo, and the Dream pasta, which was made up of cheddar sauce, sauteed shrimp and crabmeat; alfredo linguini, and other seafood dishes. Among these, my favorite was the Kung Pao Shrimp Pasta, which included spicy seasoned shrimp that were battered and deep-fried and served on top of linguine tossed in teriyaki sauce. It was then finished off with edamame beans, cabbage, scallions, and cashews as a garnish. Although my experience as a prep cook was limited, I was familiar with the various knife cuts required for preparing menu items, as well as the significance of food sanitation.
In this picture, we can see a fresh and cleaned live lobster that was selected by customers from the fish tank located in the dining room. The process of preparing the lobster involves inserting a knife into its head and vertically cutting it open. After that, the organs are removed, rinsed, and then boiled in water for around 8 to 10 minutes.
