In order to calculate the freestyle smart points on a recipe you have to enter the ingredients in manually (by ingredient) not by the nutritional information in the ww recipe builder-since this recipe contains zero point items the app doesn’t realize there are zero point items in the recipe and will calculate it based only off the nutritional only. Please keep in mind Nutritional Information isn’t always accurate

  1. If these shrimp are already cooked, why put it back in the oven until the shrimp are fully cooked?

    Reply

    • Hi Wilma,

      Yes, the shrimp is cooked…I prefer the “precooked” shrimp to be sautéed. If you cook/sauté the shrimp with the seasonings and vegetables this will allow the flavor of the seasoned shrimp to combine with the vegetables.

      Thanks

  2. Could you use raw shrimp? Does the precooked shrimp not get tough baking in the oven? Think this would be a great meal prep option but then I would be cooking the shrimp essentially for a third time in the microwave. This sounds yummy! Thank you for sharing.

  3. You state recipe serves 4 (1 1/4 cups), however, under the Nutrition Information you have yield 6. Does the recipe serve 4 or 6?

        • Hi Linda,

          You’re welcome! that is so great to hear. I’m so happy you enjoyed it with the chicken- I have to admit-my kids will actually eat the entire pan when I make it with chicken. LOL

          Thanks for sharing!

  4. When I saw this recipe I knew I had to make it and I was not disappointed! Thank you for sharing your recipes!

  5. Since you place the Trader Joe’s cauliflower stir fry rice in frozen, does it get soggy/watered down?

    Reply

    • The ones I put the frozen cauliflower stir fry in are the ones I plan on refreezing for later. It would get soggy if you were are planning on putting them in the refrigerator.

      Thanks!

  6. Delicious! The seasoning was spot on. This really saved me tonight when I was a bit high on points for the day, but hungry!

    • Hi Nancy!

  7. This was our dinner last night. YUM!!! Definitely will become a repeater. And the best part is there are left overs. A fabulous 0 point, satisfying meal for me and my hubby

  8. Can’t wait to try this! When using raw shrimp, if the time increases to about 20 min, can the shrimp and veggies be put in at the same time?

    Reply

  10. I tried this recipe last night and it was absolutely delicious! It was so easy to prepare and the cooking time was on point. The shrimp were cooked to perfection. Thank you!

  11. What sauce recipes do y’all use to put on something like this??
    I LOVE any kind of “sauce” recipes!!
    This was so QUICK and YUMMY!!
    I did meal prep~ I sliced up everything added the seasoning a few days early!!
    I also added extra onions and mushrooms!!
    YES ~ I will be making this a lot!!
    Thank you ~

  12. Made this tonight and actually did salad with a few crunched up multigrain chips to replace the tortilla. Excellent! Husband really liked them too. Would double veggies next time but that’s a personal preference. Great meal!
