One of my favorite apps is the Weight Watcher (WW) Mobile App that allows you to track your weight, track your daily, weekly and activity points, and also has special features like the ability to search for recipes designed by the WW culinary teams and writers.<\/p>\n<p>I especially love the way I can search for recipes that fall into the PointsPlus Values categorized by 0-4 points value, 5-7 points value, and so on. I typically search for any recipes that fall into the 0-4 points value range. I select several breakfast recipes and entree recipes each week. The app lets me add the recipe ingredients to a Shopping List, and I can also email the recipes and the shopping list were I then modify any ingredients on the list that I already have on hand, and print out the recipes and my modified list. A screen capture of the WW Mobile app recipe is shown below:<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2926\" style=\"width: 210px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/cajunchefryan.rymocs.com\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Chili-Crusted-Sea-Scallops-WW-Mobile-App-Recipe.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2926\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2926 \" alt=\"Chili-Crusted Sea Scallops WW Mobile App Recipe\" src=\"http:\/\/cajunchefryan.rymocs.com\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Chili-Crusted-Sea-Scallops-WW-Mobile-App-Recipe-200x300.png\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/cajunchefryan.rymocs.com\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Chili-Crusted-Sea-Scallops-WW-Mobile-App-Recipe-200x300.png 200w, http:\/\/cajunchefryan.rymocs.com\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Chili-Crusted-Sea-Scallops-WW-Mobile-App-Recipe.png 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2926\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chili-Crusted Sea Scallops WW Mobile App Recipe<\/p><\/div>\n<p>We purchased 2 pounds of sea scallops at <a title=\"Saltwater Seafood NC Link\" href=\"http:\/\/www.saltwaterseafoodnc.com\/\">Saltwater Seafood<\/a> and I made the recipe this weekend at home.

These were also purchased at Saltwater Seafood, local NC Coastal Soft Shells.

We figured the WW PointsPlus for the soft shell crabs at two per serving to be 4 WW PointsPlus per serving because cooked blue crab meat is 2 WW PointsPlus for each 3 ounce serving, we doubled this since the soft shells were just at 6 ounces for two.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2933\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/cajunchefryan.rymocs.com\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Lemon-Chili-Soft-Shell-Crabs-Broiler.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2933\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2933\" alt=\"Lemon Chili Soft Shell Crabs Broiler\" src=\"http:\/\/cajunchefryan.rymocs.com\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Lemon-Chili-Soft-Shell-Crabs-Broiler-300x300.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/cajunchefryan.rymocs.com\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Lemon-Chili-Soft-Shell-Crabs-Broiler-300x300.jpg 300w, http:\/\/cajunchefryan.rymocs.com\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Lemon-Chili-Soft-Shell-Crabs-Broiler-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/cajunchefryan.rymocs.com\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Lemon-Chili-Soft-Shell-Crabs-Broiler.jpg 612w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2933\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lemon Chili Soft Shell Crabs Broiler<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The Soft Shell Crabs Plated<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2934\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/cajunchefryan.rymocs.com\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Lemon-Chili-Soft-Shell-Crabs-Plated.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2934\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2934\" alt=\"Lemon Chili Soft Shell Crabs Plated\" src=\"http:\/\/cajunchefryan.rymocs.com\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Lemon-Chili-Soft-Shell-Crabs-Plated-300x300.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/cajunchefryan.rymocs.com\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Lemon-Chili-Soft-Shell-Crabs-Plated-300x300.jpg 300w, http:\/\/cajunchefryan.rymocs.com\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Lemon-Chili-Soft-Shell-Crabs-Plated-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/cajunchefryan.rymocs.com\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Lemon-Chili-Soft-Shell-Crabs-Plated.jpg 612w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2934\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lemon Chili Soft Shell Crabs Plated<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Bon Appetite!<\/p>\n<p>CCR<\/p>\n<p>=:~)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The &#8220;crust&#8221; is really a nice glaze more than it is a &#8220;crust&#8221;, I supposed a really hotter broiler flame could make it more crusty, or the addition of some Panko breadcrumbs on top of the chili lemon marinade would add to the crust factor.
