AMAZING Dinner

Earlier this week I made Thai Green Curry Coconut Shrimp with Basil. It was amazing! The recipe is from skinnytaste; this blog is one of the go to places to find new and exciting Weight Watchers friendly dishes. Although this one had me purchasing items not normally in my kitchen (green curry, coconut milk and fish sauce); it was totally worth it. My fiance Brent and I enjoyed it for dinner, and I had it as leftovers the next night too. Try it out; you won't be sorry!

Make sure to calculate your own WW points; nutritional values vary based on brands. Skinnytaste stated that this recipe was 3 points for 1/4 of the shrimp and sauce. With my specific ingredients my entire recipe was only 6 points!
