I absolutely love shrimp and since I have been on Weight Watchers I have been eating a lot of it because it’s very low in WW points. You can serve this as an appetizer or as a main course. I had it as a main course and it came out fantastic. My family loved it. As you can see from the picture, I served it with some plain white rice and steamed broccoli.
