With the holiday weekend coming up, I thought I would review some prepared foods and snack items.
This month Costco has their Cilantro-Lime Shrimp on sale for $1.50 off per container, no coupon required.(They take $1.50 off the sticker when you check out).
As my wife does not eat shrimp, I bought these as a treat for me. Overall, I was very pleased with them. I ate them "plain" right out of the container and I was impressed with the quality of the shrimp-they were flavorful and prepared properly, with the tails removed.
The cilantro-lime dressing on them was also well done. I like the tang and zest of citrus flavors and found these to be at about the right level. I also enjoyed the cilantro and other flavorings that made this more than just some shrimp soaked in lime juice.
As I said, I ate them plain, but I would think they would work well in some sort of salad. Also, for those that avoid carbs, serving these in romaine lettuce leaves would make for a flavorful low carb, low fat, high protein wrap.
I was definitely pleased with these and if there is ever another coupon, I will definitely buy them. I also might buy them every once in a while just to pamper myself.
Hmmm, might have to go try these out this weekend!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this product. I only just recently discovered it in Olympia.
ReplyDeleteI bought these from Costco, they were horrible. Slimy and they stunk like raw or spoiled. The color looked white grey likd raw. Do not get these shrimps, gross!
