Slow Cooker Sweet and Sour Shrimp

"I thought the recipe was delicious. However, after cooking the food for about 2 hours, I noticed it was beginning to dry up and I had to add a little under half a cup of water. But that fixed it. I also added a can of Mandarin oranges (with half a cup of their natural juices) into the recipe to give it more fruit because it seemed to be missing something. I also did not add the Chinese peas. The recipe for the sweet and sour sauce is delicious and can go on anything! This is a great recipe for anyone counting calories because it contains a lot of protein from the shrimp that keeps you full for a long time. I dished mine out in portions of 1 cup, with six servings total. After buying all the lowest-calorie, healthiest versions of the foods mentioned, I was able to calculate 1 cup as having 264 calories and 8 calories from fat. That's a great return for the fullness factor and deliciousness! If you remove the shrimp from the recipe, it will likely be less filling and yield fewer servings, but it will cut out the fat calories down to 0 and is just as good without the shrimp. Overconsumption of this food should be watched closely, however, because shrimp contain a lot of cholesterol. If one uses a no-calorie sweetener to sweeten the sweet and sour sauce, it would reduce total calories of the entire pot by 130."
