Looking for quick, flavorful dinners that come together with just a few ingredients? In this video, Nicole takes on the Trader Joe’s freezer aisle and whips up 7 easy dinners made with 4 ingredients or less. From shrimp stir fry to birria tacos, these meals prove that freezer staples can be the secret to weeknight success.
We kick things off with a light and colorful Shrimp & Veggie Stir Fry, then toss together a hearty Grilled Chicken Pasta that’s perfect for busy nights. Next, Nicole serves up cheesy Chiles Rellenos followed by zesty Grilled Chimichurri Chicken Skewers that taste like they came straight off the grill. For pasta night, she makes a buttery Shrimp Scampi, then heads into takeout-fakeout territory with classic Beef & Broccoli. To finish, it’s a cozy, flavor-packed plate of Birria Tacos that might just be the winner of the bunch.

I’ve never shopped at Trader Joe’s, but you have definitely made me want to try! Can’t believe how quickly each meal comes together! Love your videos!!!
"CONTAINS BEYOND EXTRAORDINARY HIGH AMOUNTS OF SALT" should be prominently displayed on the labels of these foods.
Yum love TJ, 🥰
9:11 did you use both bags of pasta? You were holding up two of them, but it looks like you only cooked one?
About the stir fry,: can you bulk up the veggies if you're expecting more than four for donner serve that over the rice and add filet of sole? Just thinking of more possibilities
I truly appreciate your videos — they’re both enjoyable and informative. As someone managing diabetes and recovering from strokes, I try to be mindful of nutrition and ingredients.

Please be very careful about buying Frozen meals from Trader Joe's currently. There's been local outbreaks reported in several cities in the U.S
Great job…headed to Joe's freezer section!
One of my favorite TJ’s frozen dinners is their Arrabbiata sauce pasta…always in my shopping cart along with their olive fougasse bread which I slice and fry or gill in butter with parm…funnily enough I made their Cacio E Pepe Pasta last night which is also delicious but you have to like pepper…
