Weight Watchers Shrimp Fried Rice

Shrimp fried rice can be made healthier at home and can also be made faster than the time it takes to order some take out! This whole entire recipe can be made in under 1o minutes with the help of some steamer rice bags. Since discovering the frozen brown rice at Trader Joe's, it's so easy to whip this meal up in no time. I have yet to find a decent steamer rice bag here that compares to the ones that Trader Joe's has.

Soy sauce gives the rice it's brown color and I use frozen shrimp from Sam's Club. I just let it defrost in some water for about an hour or even less than that! You can add whatever frozen vegetables you like. I used peas, carrots, and some scallions. You can watch how this recipe is made in the video below. All it requires is one pot.

Ingredients Needed

• 1 tbsp. vegetable oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 lb. shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 3 c. cooked white rice
• 1 c. frozen peas and carrots, defrosted
• 2 tbsp. soy sauce
• 2 tsp. sesame oil
• 1 large egg, whisked
• 2 tbsp. Sliced green onions

How to Make Fried Rice

1. In a medium skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add garlic and stir for one minute. Add carrots and peas and sauté, 3 minutes, then add shrimp and cook, 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2. Stir in rice and season with soy sauce and sesame oil. Sauté for 2 more minutes.
3. Push rice to one side of the skillet and add the egg. Stir egg constantly until almost fully cooked, then fold into rice mixture. Garnish with Sriracha and green onions and serve.
4. Serving Size: about 1 ½ cups 

Frequently Asked Questions and Tips 

How do you figure out points for recipes? 

Nutrition info is calculated with the zero point food included in the recipe. If you’re using the nutrition info to figure out points it might not be the same as what the points are listed in the notes section. I use the recipe builder to calculate points. Myfitness pal for nutrition info. 

Why am I still getting different points from what you have listed? 

This could be quite a number of reasons and here are a few that I have come across. 

Number of servings 

Different brand used 

Low-Fat vs Fat-Free ingredients

Using the nutrition info calculator instead of the recipe builder  

How to store leftovers: Always store leftovers in clean, food-grade containers. The type of container doesn’t really matter. Use zip lock, glass, plastic,  whatever!  Make sure to store any leftovers in an airtight container before putting it in the freezer or fridge. 

This can be prepped the day ahead.
