We bought some of the larger Kirkland Signature frozen shrimp from Costco to grill (even though it's already cooked). We took some of the frozen shrimp out and thawed it in the refrigerator overnight.

The next day before we grilled the shrimp, we patted down the shrimp to get rid of the extra moisture. We sprayed a foil tray with Pam and put the shrimp on the tray. The shrimp comes already seasoned with salt, but we still added a little salt and pepper to it.

To grill the shrimp, we turned the grill on max heat on all burners and put the foil pan on the grill. After the shrimp were on the grill for about 1 minute, we flipped the shrimp and cooked for another minute, and then they were done!

The shrimp was very easy to cook with a little bit of grilling and tasted delicious!

Cooked Trader Joe's / Giotto's Linguine with Pesto & Tomatoes

We bought some of the pesto & tomato linguine from Trader Joe's.

The bag came with little frozen bird's nests of linguine with discs of sauce and a few tomatoes. I just followed the microwave instructions, except I microwaved them for 30 seconds less on the second cycle (2.5 minutes instead of 3 minutes).

The linguine pasta came out nice & soft, but not mushy, and the sauce was a nice and rich, pesto and olive oil. While there weren't very many tomatoes, the tomatoes that were there went with the sauce and linguine pretty well. It was fairly substantial and worked nicely as a meal for two.

Overall Rating:
Good

REVIEW – Gluten Free Boulder Canyon Sweet Potato Chips from Costco

Bag of Boulder Canyon Gluten-free sweet potato chips from Costco

I bought some of Boulder Canyon's sweet potato chips with sea salt from Costco since it's hard to find sweet potato chips in a big bag, and the bag at Costco was bigger than others.

The sweet potato chips had a nice sweet potato flavor along with the sea salt, but, unfortunately, the sweet potato chips were way too hard. I don't know if it was supposed to be that way or if something was wrong with the bag of chips, but each time I ate a chip, I had to really crunch down, and I felt like my teeth would break off.

I really wanted to like these chips because I love sweet potato chips, and it's hard finding them in a big bag, but since I couldn't eat them, I ended up returning them to Costco.

Overall Rating:
OK
