My first time purchasing them, and I regret not buying more. They are a perfect mini bite of shrimpy goodness and such a delight. These go well with noodles so far that I experienced. I wish they were a bit bigger and had more of the the shrimp filling in them. I will definitely buy again. I give these a 4 out of stars.
