Best frozen breaded shrimp

Top pick: SeaPak Crispy Breaded Butterfly Shrimp — the safest bet for most people. Butterfly-cut tail-on shrimp with a light, crunchy breading, and by far the most-reviewed option here, so you know what you're getting. Bakes up crisp in the oven without deep frying.

Who the others suit:

• Kirkland Signature Breaded Panko Shrimp — best for feeding a crowd; panko coating stays crisp and the bag goes far.
• Breaded Buffalo Style Shrimp — for anyone who wants heat built in; no sauce needed.
• Coconut Breaded Shrimp — for a sweeter, tropical spin, good with a dipping sauce.
• Jumbo Breaded Shrimp — if you want bigger, meatier pieces over a light coating.
• Nature's Best Seafood Breaded Shrimp — the leanest everyday pick, lightest on fat.

Skip anything sold as a bulk restaurant case unless you have freezer room.
