SeaPak: restaurant-quality seafood!

Posted in Food & Drink, Giveaways | 304 comments

Maybe I’m just lazy, but I find cooking seafood to be tedious. The peeling and deveining of shrimp, or removing the skin (I don’t like it!) and bones of fish, and then seasoning it and cooking it properly… well, it takes a lot of effort, and quite often by the end of the day I’m just not in the mood. That’s what restaurants are for, right?

That was my philosophy until I discovered SeaPak. The SeaPak Shrimp Company is the #1 brand within the frozen specialty seafood category. They’ve been around over 60 years, so you might even say they’re shrimp experts!

Popcorn Shrimp, Firecracker Shrimp, Shrimp Poppers, Shrimp Scampi, Tempura Shrimp, Garlic-Herb Marinated Shrimp, Coconut Shrimp, Shrimp Alfredo… oh my! That’s quite a mouthful of shrimp.
We tried the Popcorn Shrimp and everyone – even my 4-year old who doesn’t like seafood – loved it! Oven-ready in minutes, I was surprised that the shrimp came out rather crispy and not at all greasy. The texture of the shrimp itself is nice – not chewy or gummy as with other brands I’ve tried in the past.

But shrimp’s not the only product in their lineup! SeaPak also offers a variety of different seafood dishes, including Tilapia Tenders, Artichoke Pesto Tilapia, Herb Butter Salmon, Maryland-style Crabcakes, Salmon Burgers, Ahi Tuna Steaks, and Smoky Barbecue Salmon Fillets.

Of course nothing compares to preparing fresh seafood, but since most of us don’t have the time to create fabulous seafood dishes everyday, SeaPak is there to help. It’s so easy to just throw some shrimp in the oven as a quick snack, or add in a few other ingredients to dream up a fancy gourmet meal.

I’ve got seven sets of coupons to give away - one coupon for a free SeaPak product up to $10.99, and two coupons for free Farm Rich products (up to $8.99).
