Gorton’s Seafood {Review & Giveaway}

When I think of frozen seafood products, I think of Gorton’s. Since having children we always have a huge 115 count bag of Extra Crunchy Breaded Fish Sticks from Sam’s Club sitting in our freezer. (Which are a fabulous value by the way so go buy yourself a bag!) It is the only kind of fish stick we’ve tried that doesn’t end up mushy and we just love that crunchy breading!

Since my husband and I adore  seafood I was excited to work with Gorton’s and try out some of their other products. I immediately seized the opportunity to try their Shrimp Scampi. Both my husband and I love shrimp and who can resist a yummy garlic sauce?

I decided to keep it simple and follow the suggestion on the box to serve it over a bed of noodles. With just a simple box of spaghetti and Gorton’s Shrimp Scampi we created what tasted like a gourmet meal.  It was cinch to prepare by simply sauteing the shrimp and boiling the spaghetti. With the built in garlic butter sauce it created a savory meal with very little effort on my part.  Both my husband and I can’t wait to try it again (and again and again….).

The package contains three servings and I think that is about right, although my husband and I finished it completely and we were more than satisfied.  With 120 calories and 6 grams of fat per serving it isn’t damaging to your waistline despite it feeling like a splurge.

Gorton’s also has some great current promotions:
