"By our count, this frozen seafood meal should have been named garlic "skimp." The promised garlic and shrimp components were nowhere to be found. The meal was a fairly depressing combination of very few, ultra-small shrimps, pasta, carrots, corn, and broccoli (mostly stems, not florets). After skillet-cooking the bag's contents for the recommended 15 to 18 minutes, the few, pre-cooked, popcorn-sized shrimp became severely overcooked, tough, and inedible."
"That unpleasant texture was made even worse by the fact that there was hardly any sauce in the bag, and what sauce there was had "little garlic flavor and zero creamy, richness" (pass). On the official brand website, consumer reviews of Bird Eye's Voila! Garlic Shrimp sound off, "Disappointing! [...] I couldn't taste any garlic and there were only 10 popcorn-sized shrimp in the meal," and, "Needs a lot of improvements. Garlic and shrimp, tastes nothing like garlic ... actually pretty much tastes like nothing.""
Nine Birds Eye Voila! Skillet Meal flavors were evaluated; the Garlic Shrimp finished last. The product contained very few ultra-small shrimp, mostly pasta and vegetables, with broccoli stems rather than florets. After skillet-cooking for the recommended 15 to 18 minutes, the pre-cooked, popcorn-sized shrimp became overcooked, tough, and inedible. The bag contained little sauce, which lacked garlic flavor and any creamy richness. Consumer reviews report similar complaints about minimal garlic taste and only about ten small shrimp. The product's price — about $8.97 to $9.99 for a 42-ounce bag — was criticized given the quality.
