Maybe it’s chemistry, maybe it’s biology, maybe it’s some grand, unfathomable cosmic connection, but there’s just something about the combination of shrimp, garlic, and a creamy sauce that makes it seem as though all three were made for one another. Time and time again, in curries, pastas, and chowders, these three powerhouses of flavor form something even greater than the already-formidable sum of their parts. And now, in Trader Joe’s Shrimp & Garlic Flatbread, this tremendous trio takes their talents in a crisp, cheesy, decidedly pizza-esque direction. Each Flatbread starts with a light and thin rectangular crust, to which our supplier adds a rich, garlic-butter béchamel sauce that’s been seasoned with white pepper and curry powder, aromatic herbs like chives and parsley, as well as orange and lemon zest for a bit of balancing acidity. Next, they add savory and slightly umami-tinged grated Parmesan, and de-shelled, tail-off Shrimp to complete the picture. Once cooked in your home oven (18-20 minutes at 475°F, from frozen, ought to do the trick) this Flatbread makes an easy and delicious appetizer or entrée: we recommend pairing it with an Organic Caesar Salad to make it a complete meal, and a glass of crisp white wine to make the most of its classic creamy garlic & shrimp combo.
