First off, the mistake was getting a Macaroni Grill "Frozen" dinner. In the past we've had good success with several different brands of these packaged frozen dinners, sometimes adding fresh ingredients or making a few small edits to the recipe itself which didn't change the overall taste, just added to it.
Tonight, we had Roasted Garlic Shrimp Scampi, which is just a fancified term for utter shit, with noodles. I've never thought that Macaroni Grill was great, it's a servicable restaurant that wants to be a good Italian eatery, but lacks the means or the chef's. We, in California, have been so inundated with bad italian food that at some point we all just gave up and felt that this was the best we're going to get and we put up with it. Anyways, on with the review
It's shit -
The end.
Why?
The sauce tastes like peanuts, with no indication of it being a butter sauce with white wine, the shrimp still had pieces of shell on it, the asparagus is the left over's from the stalks that usually get tossed to the garbage and it was mixed with shriveled pieces of red bell pepper. The only good part was the noodles - they have frozen noodles down to a science.
Don't buy it, stop yourself from paying the money for this banal garbage, it's a waste of your hard earned money if you continually purchase mediocre food that these companies try to market to us as "good".
I will sacrifice my taste buds (an my inheritence haha) on this crap and give you the reviews of whether to get it.
Recommendations - Red Baron pizza items or Stouffer's frozen foods at least you know what you're getting with those oh and Ore Ida potato products.
