bettergoods Sweet Chili Breaded Shrimp vs Gorton's Butterfly Shrimp with Panko

Both are frozen breaded shrimp with about three servings per box, but they go different directions. The bettergoods Sweet Chili is the pick for anyone who wants a flavored, saucy-style coating with a little heat and sweetness; Gorton's Butterfly is the pick for a neutral, buttery panko crunch that works with any dip or sauce you add. Gorton's has the longer track record as a seafood brand and a clear air-fryer method, while bettergoods is a store-brand newcomer with fewer ratings. Build and coating quality are close; the flavor profile is the real split.

• Choose the bettergoods Sweet Chili Breaded Shrimp if you want the seasoning built into the breading and plan to eat it as-is or with a light dip.
• Choose the Gorton's Butterfly Shrimp if you want a plain, crispy panko base you can pair with cocktail sauce, aioli or tacos.
