Weight Watchers Recipe of the Day: Tex-Mex Shrimp Rolls
Looking for a quick and easy lunch or supper idea?
Here's a super easy no-cook recipe for low fat Tex-Mex shrimp rolls that comes together in minutes.
Easy No Cook Shrimp Rolls
Just stir together cooked shrimp, scallions, salsa, mayonnaise, cilantro and salt and scoop into a whole grain roll.
A longtime lover of Maine Lobster Rolls, this recipe for Tex-Mex shrimp rolls caught my eye as I was scanning through the Weight Watchers Family Meals: 250 Recipes for Bringing Family, Friends, and Food Together (affiliate link) cookbook for a quick and easy lunch option earlier this week.
This super quick and easy no-cook recipe with minimal ingredients was just what I was looking for.
And as luck would have it, shrimp were even on special when I shopped.
Served with a few corn chips and salsa on the side, everyone gave these shrimp rolls an enthusiastic thumbs up.
Recipe Notes
Just stir together cooked shrimp, scallions, salsa, mayonnaise, cilantro and salt and scoop into a whole grain roll.
Lunch or supper doesn't get much easier.
This tasty shrimp mixture would also be good stuffed into pita bread, wrapped in a tortilla or atop a bed of salad greens.
High in protein and low in fat, 3 ounces of cooked shrimp has just 1 WW SmartPoint.
Substitute cooked lobster, crab or chunks of white fish for the shrimp, with no change in SmartPoints value.
Southwestern Tex-Mex Shrimp Rolls
Change up the flavor with a variety of salsas. I used basic tomato salsa, but tomatillo, fruit or a corn and black bean salsa would all work well.
Make them spicier with the addition of chopped jalapeño or a splash or two of your favorite hot sauce.
I thought the recipe as written was a little heavy on the mayo/salsa, so I would use less next time.
I'd also add more shrimp next time too since it's so low in SmartPoints.
If you're not a fan of fat-free mayonnaise, substitute equal parts mayonnaise and non-fat Greek yogurt.

It was delicious! I added tomatoes and bell peppers to mine, I didn't have fresh cilantro so I used dried.
