Meh. Texture was vey rubbery and predominant flavor was seasoning—pepper, salt, and not sure what other spices. If you’re craving shrimp, buy their bagged shrimp, not this.

These are soggy and full of water. They taste of nothing-except pepper and fish-definitely not shrimp. They definitely take longer than 14 minutes in the oven-they will not brown in the oven either. Air fry doesn’t get it done either-just dry and rubbery. They are a sickly grey color. If you have ever made your own shrimp burgers-these do not hold a match flame to them. Sorry-these are a hard pass for me. (They are made in Vietnam.)

Not good at all and I LOVE seafood. Even my daughter who loves fish, didn’t eat these. Texture is strange and they’re full of water. Will not buy again!

I don’t love seafood but I typically enjoy shrimp and these were HORRIBLE. I took one bite and immediately threw out the box

These were nothing short of NASTY! Could not even finish eating it. Pan fried it in a little oil. It was fishy tasty and rubbery.

These are barely worth a review of any sort. They look NOTHING like the photo on the box and they are just plain gross. It’s a few tiny pieces of shrimp, surround by WHO KNOWS WHAT. They look nasty and taste even worse. Threw the box away! 🙁

I’m shocked that Trader Joe’s doesn’t TEST THE PRODUCTS BEFORE PUTTING THEIR NAME ON THEM. We trust Trader Joe’s but there is no way these shrimp burgers should have passed any sort of quality control. We pan fried them, took one bite and threw them all out! yuck!

I can’t describe what these taste like but it’s bad. Texture wasn’t bad.

There are so many TJ products that we adore and couldn’t wait to try these. So disappointing. Horrible, rubbery, watery, tasteless. I don’t like to give bad reviews, but could save someone the $$.

Looks nothing like the picture on the packaging. Unappealing gray puck that looks that way even after it’s cooked. Absolutely awful. Waste of money. By far the worst thing I’ve purchased at TJ’s.

Wish I had seen these reviews before I bought these. Impulse buy, took them home and experienced much of the comments above. Gray in color and not mild shrimps tasting at all. TJ’s says these are made with 70% shrimp….complete misrepresentation. Will be returning the remaining product and getting my money back.

I haven’t tried these yet. The box did not state Farm Raised, but doing research it is 70% farm raised shrimp and 30% wild caught pollock. I do not do Farm Raised seafood

These are DISGUSTING!!!!!! And the nerve to show that picture on the package. The picture shows a shrimp filled patty. The actual product is a grey looking patty with no chucks of shrimp. Taste is just as gross as the look of it. Just nasty!

I found this page because I was Googling, “Are Trader Joe’s Shrimp Burgers supposed to be gray after cooking?” I took a bite before my internet search and was worried I was going to get food poisoning. I’m relieved after reading the reviews, but bummed because I agree that they don’t look anything like the picture on the box. And they don’t taste good enough to get past the unappealing look and choke them down. I’ll be throwing them out as well.
