I like shrimp so I was excited to try Gorton's Garlic Butter Shrimp Bowl.  Gorton's markets this product as "fettuccine with shrimp and vegetables in a savory garlic butter sauce."

The nutritional information is as follows:

Calories = 260

Total Fat = 6g (zero trans fat)

Sodium = 910 mg

Total Carbohydrate = 38g

Dietary Fiber = 2g

Protein = 13g

So did this shrimp bowl taste as described?  Somewhat.  It tasted okay but it wasn't the "savory" meal that I had hoped for.  The shrimp were tiny - like the ones that you get in a salad.  The pictures of shrimp on the packaging were bigger than the actual shrimp in the bowl.  Gorton's should have a disclaimer stating that objects are smaller than they appear. 

The vegetables (carrots, peas, and red peppers) tasted okay but the fettuccine was a little overcooked (I microwaved this meal) so the ends were hard.  Most disappointing to me was that the garlic butter sauce was very runny, almost watery.  I had hoped for a thick alfredo-type sauce.

Would I buy Gorton's Garlic Butter Shrimp Bowl again?  Probably not.  In fact, my advice is to skip this shrimp.
