P.F. Chang Home Menu – a review – giveaway closed.

This giveaway has ended. See below for winner.

I seldom buy frozen “meals” – mainly because one package doesn’t feed my family of 5. But there are times when I do buy something that will only feed the two of us who eat seafood – my 7 yr old daughter & I. So when I was asked to take a look at P.F. Chang’s Home Menu frozen entrees, I said yes.

I choose the Shrimp in Garlic Sauce because – well, yum – who can pass up garlic AND shrimp in one meal, right?

I decided to prepare it on a night when I was pressed for time, but needed something that would fill us up. We were getting ready to go to the county fair, and you KNOW how expensive it is to eat at those places, so I needed something filling and fast – and easy as possible.

You cannot GET much easier than “open package and pour into a skillet”. That’s ALL you do. You cook it on medium-high heat for 10 minutes – and I have to say, the ingredients had my mouth watering. The vegetables – peapods, water chestnuts, peppers and carrots looked SO fresh! The shrimp looked delicious – and in 15 minutes, it was DONE!

I’d also prepared some stir-fry noodles to go with it, and threw them in at the last minute to coat with the yummy garlic sauce. We went to town! It was delicious. The vegetables held up to the heat and didn’t get all mushy, like some frozen meals I’ve used in the past. The shrimp was tender and the sauce itself was good – not too spicy, not too sweet. Best of all, it didn’t taste like a frozen meal at all. It tasted like take-out.

They take about 10-12 minutes to cook in a skillet without the addition of any other ingredients and there are eight varieties available including General Chang’s Chicken, Orange Chicken, Shanghai Style Beef, Shrimp in a Garlic Sauce, Shrimp Lo Mein, Sweet & Sour Chicken, Ginger Chicken & Broccoli and Beef with Broccoli.
