Updated with WW Personal Points on 7/20/22.
Now that Lent is here, Fridays for us have to be meat free. And since we love shrimp in this house what better meal to make than Shrimp Pad Thai. Since I am now doing the Weight Watchers Purple Plan, I found these fantastic 0 SmartPoint Annie Chun’s Maifun Brown Rice Pad Thai Noodles. And they are fantastic in this Weight Watchers Shrimp Pad Thai Recipe.
I’ve come up with 3 different ways to make this Weight Watchers Shrimp Pad Thai recipe:
- One is using the Annie Chung’s Maifun Brown Rice Pad Thai Noodles
- Another is using Whole Wheat Orzo
- And, simply using Cauliflower Rice in place of Brown Rice Noodles and the Whole Wheat Orzo. Using Cauliflower Rice will significantly reduce your SmartPoints if you use it in place of the Brown Rice Pad Thai Noodles or Whole Wheat Orzo if you are following the Blue or Green Plans.

INGREDIENTS:
8 Ounces of Uncooked Maifun Brown Rice Noodles or Whole Wheat Orzo* or Cauliflower Rice*
2 Pounds of Uncooked Large Shrimp, Peeled & Deveined
2 Teaspoons of Canola Oil
1 Large Onion, Chopped
2 Garlic Cloves Chopped
Large Egg, Beaten
1 Bag of Coleslaw Mix
4-6 Green Onions, Sliced
1/3 Cup of Rice Vinegar
1/4 Cup of Splenda (Granulated)
3 Tablespoons of Soy Sauce
2 Tablespoons of Fish Sauce
Can of La Choy Bean Spouts, Drained, Optional
Chopped Fresh Cilantro Leaves, Optional
Lime Juice, Optional
Pinch of Red Pepper Flakes, Optional
DIRECTIONS:
- Cook brown rice noodles or whole wheat orzo or caulflower rice according to package directions. Set aside.
- In a large nonstick skillet or wok, stir fry shrimp in the oil until shrimp turns pink. Remove and set aside.
- Add onion and garlic to the pan. Make a well in the center of the onion/garlic mixture and add beaten egg. Stir fry until egg is set – about 3 minutes.
- Add in the coleslaw mix, green onions, vinegar, Splenda, soy sauce, fish sauce and (pepper flakes + bean sprouts if using). Return shrimp to the pan and heat through.
- Drain brown rice noodles or whole wheat orzo or cauliflower rice and toss with shrimp mixture. Garnish with cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice if using. Enjoy!
- On the WW Personal Points Plan, the range of PP per serving is 1-9 PP. However since this recipe has lots of vegetables, you earn 1 PP back per serving; so it’s basically 0-8 PP. To get this recipe to 0 PP per serving, you’d have to chose Eggs, Shrimp and Whole Grain Pasta as your 0 PP Foods.
- This makes 4 servings at 1 SmartPoints per serving on the Purple Plan (it is 1 SmartPoint no matter if you use the Brown Rice Noodles, Whole Wheat Orzo or the Cauliflower Rice.) On the Blue Plan, it is 7 SmartPoints per serving if you use the Brown Rice Noodles, 6 SmartPoints per serving if you use the Whole Wheat Orzo and 1 SmartPoint per serving if you use Cauliflower Rice. On the Green Plan, it is 10 SmartPoints per serving if you use the Brown Rice Noodles, 9 SmartPoints per serving if you use the Whole Wheat Orzo and 4 SmartPoints per serving if you use Cauilflower Rice.
- *If you choose to use Whole Wheat Orzo, use 8 Ounces (precooked) and cook separately and keep warm while completing the remaining recipe. If you choose cauliflower rice, for 4 servings, I would make 3 bags (frozen).
