Summer is here! And with that comes a new delicious seafood recipe. This jerk shrimp stir fry with cauliflower rice is low carb and so easy to make – it’s only 4 Freestyle points per serving (2 cups) on Weight Watchers.
First of all, when did it become almost June? I feel like this year has flown by so quickly and before we know it, it’s going to be Christmas-time.
Geez – I can’t believe 2017 is almost half over. Speaking of which, if you set a goal to lose weight this year, how are you doing?
If we were to do a mid-year check in, how would you be doing? Do you need any help throughout your journey? – I’d be happy to help!
One thing I have learned in this year of maintenance, is that seafood is really good for you. And it’s very low in Freestyle points!
When I was coming up with this recipe, I wanted it to be low-carb, and what better way than using cauliflower rice instead of brown rice?
The tangy flavor of the jerk shrimp stir fry with cauliflower rice is amazing and the snow peas and peppers add that extra crunch. It’s a wonderful low-carb meal.
