Instructions
  1. Cook brown rice noodles or whole wheat orzo or caulflower rice according to package directions. Set aside.
  2. In a large nonstick skillet or wok, stir fry shrimp in the oil until shrimp turns pink. Remove and set aside.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. *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).
