I thought it was going to be a waste of time since it’s based on a Weight Watchers recipe.

    1 tsp. olive oil
    1.5 lbs. peeled shrimp
    2 carrots, julienned
    2 tbls. minced ginger root
    4-5 cloves minced garlic
    1/2 onion, 1/4″ strips
    1 green pepper, julienned
    1/2 medium poblano, julienned
    2 c. snow peas
    1/2 c. low sodium chicken broth
    2 tsp. reduced sodium soy sauce
    2 tsp. sesame oil
    1 tsp. peanut oil
    4-5 Thai chiles
    salt, pepper, crushed red pepper to taste

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet on high heat. Add shrimp and cook for 3-5 minutes until pink. Transfer to plate.

    Add carrots to skillet and cook until tender crisp. Cook, stirring constantly for 3 minutes.

    Add garlic, ginger, green pepper, onion, poblano and chiles.

    Add chicken broth, soy sauce, peanut oil and sesame oil. Heat thoroughly.

    Stir in shrimp and serve over brown rice.

    Secret to cooking an otherwise bland Weight Watchers meal: pungent spices and heat!
