Shrimp Scampi, on a flat bread?
Best way to describe this new Trader Joe’s item, shrimp scampi on a flat bread! I’m in Connecticut now and seafood pizza is a big thing here, white clam being the most possible. It opened my eyes to the fact that it’s actually good, who knew! I’ve had a couple shrimp pies as well so when I saw this as a new item got so excited. Could there be an easy to bake home version that can live in my freezer? Love Trader Joe’s flatbreads and hoping this ones a hit too.
Nutrition and packaging
Its actually pretty healthy for a flat bread! Even sodium and cholesterol aren’t terrible for a frozen flat bread, and fat/sugar are pretty low :0 You can only cook it in the oven, they don’t recommend the microwave. Usually go the oven route anyway but nice to have both options in a pinch. The packaging is so nice though! Its sealed great and feels fancy with the black on the back. Shrimp were bigger then I thought they’d be too as a plus! Overall great looking, great package, and not bad for you!
It’s pretty
Best way to describe it<3 Crispy on the bottom but cooked perfectly up top, I left it in for 19 minuets so right in the middle of the recommended timing. Shrimp are a good size and taste like shrimp! Crust is great! Sauce and flavor are ok, not bad but missing something. Maybe more garlic or herbs, just something to give it more of a punch. Every few bites you get a creamy béchamel sauce bite, but even that needs just a hint more salt or something. Just a little bit!
Good, but not great
Good, but not great. Wanted to love this more but is just good. I added some red pepper flakes and a little more garlic powered and it upped the flavor! But judging it based only on what you get I’d say 7/10. I’d buy it here and there and just expect to add some seasoning. Not something to run and buy, but worth a try and grabbing here and there. The shrimp are really nice and cute for a party if you combo with other flat breads—just probably won’t be the favorite. Middle of the class flat bread lol.
