Stir Fried Shrimp & Snow Peas in Orange Sauce

So, this recipe sounds delicious!!! I love shrimp, love oranges, love snow peas. :) Have I ever cooked with scallions? No! Bean Sprouts? No! Funny story, bean sprouts we could not find at the grocery store. I told hubby that we can just grab green beans instead. He proceeded to tell me that it probably wouldn't work and after finding the bean sprouts I realized that they are VERY different.... Just a little bit about my novice cooking skills. lol.

This recipe sounds super easy to make, just do all the cutting and preparing ahead of time as it sounds like it is going to be fast! Good to read your recipes ahead of time folks (something I am famous for not doing, lol)

So, this recipe serves 4, yields about 1 and a half cups per serving and at 4 weight watchers points per serving, I might have seconds....lol...

Come back later and I will put up pictures and the results.
