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.

REVIEW – Trader Joe’s: Chickenless Crispy Tenders

My boyfriend's parents had bought some Chickenless Crispy Tenders from Trader Joe's so I ended up trying some of them.

We followed the oven instructions and baked the chicken(less) tenders from frozen in the oven for 25 minutes.

I didn't really like the breading on the outside of the tenders because there were oats in it, and the oats made the breading texture weird. I'm sure no fast food chain is going to be adding oats to their chicken breading any time soon. They also weren't very crispy, even though "crispy tenders" is in the name.

The tenders were a little mushy on the inside, but they were close to chicken, considering they weren't actually chicken (if that makes any sense). They tasted OK overall, but they weren't that great.

OK
