Lela, sounds delicious! Making fried rice is always a quick, hearty meal, and a good way to get rid of leftovers, be they meat, seafood, or veggies!
I'm currently on a sponsored slim and your shrimp fettuccine recipe sounds delish! Might very well give that a try, cheers :)
Great ideas - the video is really helpful.
Cool Hub! I've been looking for shrimp recipes since I got back on WW three weeks ago. :)
Do you have any more to recommend?

These are real recipes, but I have another favorite way to eat shrimp. I get the bag of frozen - either pre-cooked or I steam them quick - then I make some rice and use up whatever's left over in the fridge to make fried rice. I toss in veggies, maybe a can of baby corn if I've got it, scramble up an egg or two and fry it all together in some olive oil and soy or teriyaki sauce. So so good! Kids love it too.
