I eat a lot of frozen entrees for my lunch and feel like I eat the same ones over and over again, so I recently bought a new one - Lean Cuisine Shrimp & Angel Hair Pasta.  I love pasta and I love it when there is seafood in my pasta, so this meal seemed perfect.  It didn't meet my expectations, but it isn't horrible either.

Lean Cuisine Shrimp & Angel Hair Pasta contains spaghetti (not angel hair as the title implies), shrimp, red bell pepper and carrots in a "creamy seafood sauce". 

What I do like about this entree is that it has above average sized shrimp in it for a frozen meal.  Usually, the shrimp in these kinds of frozen entrees are those tiny, bay shrimp.  The shrimp in this meal are much bigger and more substantial.  Unfortunately, that's the only positive thing I have to say about Lean Cuisine Shrimp & Angel Hair Pasta.  The sauce is horrible.  It is so bland, I can't discern one specific flavor.  It provides a wetness to this meal, but imparts no flavor at all.  The pasta is so over-cooked, it has no texture and doesn't even need to be chewed.  To salvage this meal, I had to add a healthy dose of lemon pepper, and even then it wasn't great.

Maybe my expectations of a frozen meal are too high, but I was totally disappointed in this entree.  Besides the low fat & calories and the size of the shrimp, this meal is a total loss.  I would not recommend it and won't purchase it again.
