A Decent Catch, but Not the King of Shrimp - My Honest Review
summarizeEditor's Summary
I recently tried the Agama shrimp for my marinara pasta, and while they got the job done, they didn't exactly blow me away. The packaging was convenient, but the $700 price tag for 300 grams was a major turnoff. The taste was okay, but not spectacular, and the texture was a bit off. Here's my honest review of these shrimp.

A Decent Catch, but Not the King of Shrimp
I'm all about using the best ingredients for my famous marinara pasta.
For those who haven't read my previous review, I'm super picky about my seafood, and I only use shrimp and calamari for my marinara. A friend taught me how to make it, and it's always a hit, even when I try to make extra, because it's just that good.
When my friends came over for dinner last month, I decided to make my famous marinara, and I ended up buying these Agama shrimp for the pasta instead of my usual go-to brand. I have no idea what possessed me to make that choice, but it was a spontaneous decision!
As you can see from the packaging, these shrimp are specifically designed for pasta!
The back of the packaging has a recipe for making tortellini with pesto sauce, but I didn't try it, so I have no idea how it turns out.
There's also a nice graphic showing all the nutrients in the shrimp.
The ingredient list is pretty standard for frozen shrimp.
I guess to justify the $700 price tag for 300 grams, the manufacturer made it easy to open the packaging with one hand, no scissors needed!
Similar to my usual calamari, there's a vacuum-sealed transparent bag inside the colorful packaging for safe and convenient thawing in the fridge without any mess or odors.
All you need to do is thaw these shrimp and you're good to go for pasta or salads. I personally prefer to thaw them slowly in the fridge over a day, instead of using hot water or a microwave, because it tastes better, and they retain more moisture.
As you can see, the packaging claims these are 'royal' shrimp, but I'm not so sure, since my usual go-to brand has noticeably larger shrimp, although maybe I'm just being picky...
On the taste, these shrimp are amazing! They're soft, juicy, and just right, so I'll keep them in mind, but I'll probably stick with my usual go-to brand, which are bigger and cheaper. For the size of the shrimp and the high price, I'd give them 4 out of 5 stars.
While these Agama shrimp are a decent catch, they're not the king of shrimp in my book. They're a good option for those looking for a convenient and tasty pasta ingredient, but for the price, I'd expect a bit more.
I was initially excited to try these Agama shrimp, but after using them, I realized they're just okay. The packaging is convenient, and the taste is good, but the price is a bit steep for the size you get.
