We love to try new foods. Some are great. Some don’t measure up and some become staples in our kitchen. See what you think.
Scott & Jon’s frozen shrimp pasta and rice bowls feature sustainably-sourced shrimp, cook in 5 minutes, and have less than 300 calories per serving. Though the serving sizes are small, each of the varieties was good and our tasters enjoyed them all. The flash-freeze technology used to preserve the raw shrimp and vegetables offers a fresh taste to each bowl.
Ten shrimp bowls are available: 5 rice bowls, 2 pasta bowls and 2 noodles bowls. We tasted eight varieties. Each microwave in 4 minutes plus 1 minute of standing. The bowls were hot and tasty and the shrimp was not overcooked.

Started buying these a few months back and they have definitely changed since I first started buying them. Noodles in pasta/shrimp bowls are short (like someone cut them in half) and definitely less quantity than when I first started eating them. Now they are more like a snack than a meal. Picture on the box shows long linguini noodles which is what adults want, not cut noodles for toddlers. Not worth the price…talk about ruining a good product. Won’t buy again!
These pasta/shrimp bowls sounded intriguing – until I read the amounts of sodium. Too salty for me!
I’ve tried 4 flavors now and the shrimp has been of good quality and cooked perfectly in each one (arguably the hardest part in a microwave).
Keep in mind these are low cal, so risotto and alfredo are not going to be the full fat versions, and you’re not going to be stuffed when you finish. But all of them are quite tasty.
Great way to add some variety to your low cal frozen options and take a break from chicken when counting calories.
