My husband got this recipe while he was living on St. Croix Island. We've served the zippy shrimp dish on several holiday occasions. I'm amazed at how even those who claim not to care for shrimp come out of their shells and devour them when they're prepared this way! -Teresa Methe, Minden, Nebraska

ASIAN SHRIMP WRAPS
This is an easy low point recipe for Weight Watchers. Be sure to really drain the shrimp or the wrap will be really runny. You can find Hoisin sauce at most grocery stores but to get the really good stuff go to an Asian Market or whole food health store. 1 point per serving for Weight Watchers. Sorry, this recipe isn't core but at 1 point per wrap who cares?
