Weight Watchers shrimp recipes are the perfect way to plan a menu where you can stick within your daily and weekly Freestyle SmartPoints. Some of my favorite Weight Watchers recipes include shrimp as the main ingredient!
WHY SHRIMP IS GREAT FOR WEIGHT WATCHERS
Shrimp is a great food for Weight Watchers. Shrimp is very low in calories. One medium shrimp is only around 7 calories.
I can eat a lot of shrimp and rack up very few calories.
Shrimp are packed with protein. Three ounces of cooked shrimp has about 20 grams of protein.
There are also a lot of nutrients packed in these little shrimp. They have vitamin B12, phosphorus, choline, copper, and iodine. Shrimp is also a good source of antioxidants.
I personally love how versatile shrimp can be and how many different easy ways there are to prepare them.

Just made a shrimp & broccoli spaghetti last night. Was SO good & super easy. Start by cooking 1/2 lb spaghetti. Add 1/2 cup Italian dressing (I used wishbone) to a separate pan.Then cut up 2 cloves garlic & add to dressing. Throw in 1/2 lb shrimp & saute. Cut up 4 cups broccoli. Add broccoli to spaghetti the last 3-4 minutes of cooking. Strain & add spaghetti & broccoli to shrimp mixture. Yum!
