We’ve tasted a TON of frozen meals. Need proof? Check out our rankings for the best frozen Indian meals, skillet meals, Banquet meals, Amy’s meals, Stouffer’s meals—I could go on but it’d be easier for you to just search “frozen” on this site and find out the extent of our frozen meal expertise for yourself. While a majority of frozen meals are made with chicken, my favorites have always been the frozen shrimp meals. Shrimp freezes really well. It has a mild flavor. It’s bite-sized. There’s not enough frozen shrimp dinners, in my opinion.

Best Frozen Shrimp Alfredo
- Scott & Jon’s Shrimp Alfredo Pasta Bowl
-
Scott and Jon have kind of cornered the market on frozen shrimp meals. While not all of them are hits (the scampi lacks flavor, IMO), most of them are pretty darn good. Out of all their shrimp pastas, this is the best one to buy. It’s creamy and buttery and garlicky. The penne is ridged so the sauce clings. The broccoli is actually crisp. And the shrimp are tender. You can’t do better than this if you’re looking for the best frozen shrimp alfredo.

Best Frozen Shrimp Pasta for a Family
- Bertolli Shrimp Penne & Asparagus
-
This frozen shrimp meal took the number one spot in our Bertolli frozen meals taste test. You get penne, shrimp, asparagus, and bell peppers all in a tomato basil sauce. And that tomato basil sauce rocks—it tastes like real, fresh tomato and olive oil. It all comes together to taste practically homemade, with crunchy asparagus and sweet shrimp. If you’re looking for a quick family dinner, this is a great option.

Best Frozen Shrimp & Grits
- Dolly Parton’s Shrimp & Grits
-
Dolly makes good food—and she makes a lot of it. She makes baking mixes, pancake syrup, frostings, and shockingly good Southern-inspired frozen meals. Her frozen shrimp and grits is particularly good. It comes packed with more shrimp than you typically get in a frozen shrimp meal, along with creamy, cheesy grits, and chunks of tomato that don’t immediately turn to mush. It doesn’t have much competition in the category, but this is the best frozen shrimp and grits for sure.

Best Frozen Shrimp Scampi
- Lean Cuisine Protein Kick Shrimp Scampi
-
Yep, the best frozen shrimp scampi we’ve tried is a Lean Cuisine frozen meal. I’m just as surprised as you are. But it’s really quite tasty. The shrimp stay firm, the pasta is well-cooked, and the sauce is bright and not too heavy and genuinely tastes like it was made with wine. Add some frozen peas and you’re eating like a dang king.

Best Frozen Shrimp Fried Rice
- Scott & Jon’s Shrimp Fried Rice
-
It’s our old buddies Scott and Jon again! And this time they’ve taken on shrimp fried rice. This rice bowl is good. The rice stays al dente and the shrimp cooks up perfectly, plus you get a good amount of vegetables (even if it is just broccoli and peppers). But the best thing is the sauce. So much frozen fried rice is bland as can be. But this frozen fried rice comes with a super flavorful sauce that you mix in. The egg is…not amazing. Microwaved egg is tough. But everything else slaps.
