WW White Beans & Shrimp Recipe Notes
I adapted this recipe from the Weight Watchers One Pot Cookbook.
The recipe called for using a large 5 or 6-Quart slow cooker, which would have been WAY too big. (Using my slow cooker so much has improved my ability to spot potential problems and avoid kitchen catastrophes 🙂 )
For best results your slow cooker should always be between one-half and two-thirds full.
So, I adjusted and used my 1-½-Quart slow cooker, which worked perfectly. I think a 2-Quart would work well too.

I added 2 tablespoons of Cajun spices when I threw shrimp in. It's delicious over cauliflower rice.

Several previous comments used the word "bland" so I entered this recipe looking to upgrade the flavor...I started with using flavored diced tomatoes (I will try stewed next time) and I also added about a cup of cut Kalamata Olives (That's going to add a point!). Finally, our favorite seasoning, Herb de Provence, about a teaspoon. Oh yea, some dried onion. It was fantastic! My wife had hers over cooked cabbage. I was going to try some rice, but there really wasn't much juice. Ya know, a small can of V8 might do the trick while adding some juice. The possibilities are endless and with care in will only add a WW point or two. This was great!
