We’ll take any excuse we can find to eat shrimp, and since the Scott & Jon’s line is loaded with shrimp options, we’ve been having a blast exploring their offerings. Today we’re digging into the Scott & Jon’s Parmesan Shrimp Rice Bowl, which we have high hopes for. Don’t let us down, Scott and Jon.
Cooking this is simple enough. Just cut a slit into the plastic film and pop the bowl into the microwave for three and a half minutes. Boom. You’re done! With such a low cook time, you could bring this to your workplace as a lunch without clogging up the microwave line for too long. Of course, your coworkers might not appreciate the pungent aroma of shrimp that this meal produces while it cooks.
Yes, this thing smells strongly of shrimp. If you’re a shrimp lover, that shouldn’t bother you, but if you can’t stand that particular scent, you’re really going to have a problem here. Parmesan is a really strong smell, but the shrimp overpowers it here. This is a fishy-smelling dish!
The good news for shrimp lovers is that Scott & Jon’s products tend to use a high-quality shrimp that’s a delight to eat. That’s true here as well. This stuff is loaded with buttery shrimp flavor, and it has that firmness to it that makes it a joy to bite into. If you’re here for the shrimp, you’ve come to the right place.
One big surprise is how good the peas are. We don’t usually like peas in frozen meals, but these are excellent. They have almost a sweetness to them that contrasts really, really well with the parmesan, which flavors the non-shrimp portion of the dish. These peas are lovely, and they turn the rice portion of the dish into something special. We think the rice would have been kind of boring otherwise, but the peas are exactly what it needed.
This is a pretty diet-friendly meal, with just 290 calories and 580 mg of sodium. The Scott & Jon’s brand is pretty good about this in general, so if you’re trying to cut some calories, their frozen meals are a good option.
The Scott & Jon’s Parmesan Shrimp Rice Bowl is a real winner. With excellent ingredients, a fast cook time, and a low calorie count, it’s really hard to go wrong with this frozen meal.
