Points value for Basil Shrimp with fetz and orzo

[srscmayor]

I am new to community. Have been given recipes from a fellow coworker because I am also following weight watchers points plan. Can anyone help with the points value for the Basil Shrimp with Fetz & Orzo. It lists 219 fat. Can that be correct?

Thanks for posting the recipe. I looked in my 2001 Annual to get the fiber information: 3.4 grams. It computes to 10 points per serving.
