🍽️ What to Serve with Garlic Parmesan Baked Shrimp
Keep it light and WW-friendly with these low-point sides:
Zucchini noodles (zoodles): Sautéed or raw, they soak up the garlic butter beautifully.
Cauliflower rice: A zero‑point base that adds bulk and absorbs flavors.
Roasted asparagus or green beans: Toss with a little cooking spray and roast alongside the shrimp (add to the oven during the last 8 minutes).
Simple green salad: Mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and a light lemon vinaigrette.
Steamed broccoli: High in fiber and very filling.
🥗 Zero‑point lemon vinaigrette: Whisk 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1 minced garlic clove, salt, and pepper. Drizzle over salad greens.
