You know what’s great about shrimp? The name already implies it is little and ittie bittie. So people start telling you how jumbo their shrimp is. As Pepé from the Muppets would say, “I’m not a shrimp, I’m a king prawn!”. But here’s where shrimp sucks. It sucks when after tons of frozen meals have delivered this Frozen Food Master medium to large size shrimp, I am served up real shrimp. I’m talking real shrimpy shrimp as in “hey, why did Smart Ones throw Sea Monkeys in here?”

It is really disappointing to prepare a meal called Smart Ones Shrimp Marinara only to actually taste mushy noodles with a side of shrimp bits. The box lists this meal as “linguini in a zesty marinara sauce with tender bay shrimp and mushrooms”. The box shows a platter of food worthy of an Admiral in the Navy or, at worst, a well-established captain. The type that has a pipe, a beard, and a turtleneck. All lies. Lies I tell you!

The marinara was not zesty and the shrimp was so small I refused to tell my mouth they were shrimp. And to top it all off, I got one mushroom. Now, most of you know I don’t care for mushroom but I wanted something redeeming out of this meal. Bad bad bad.
