This Shrimp and Brussels Sprout is a quick and easy dinner. Honey, garlic, and sesame oil make this a flavourful dinner you can make in about 20 minutes!

This is one of my favourite weeknight dinners because it is so fast, healthy, and delicious.

It is a great meal that you make in a snap but savours slowly.

I love Asian-inspired dishes like this – sesame oil, honey, soy, rice vinegar are usual suspects in my stir-fries.

Even if you are on the fence about Brussels sprouts, you should totally give it a try! The flavours are fresh, sweet, and wonderfully savoury.

Serve over a bed of quinoa or rice as a side.

Notes

Food processor

If you are in a rush, a food processor makes fast work of shredding sprouts.

Frozen shrimp

I used raw shrimp that was frozen but then thawed. I thaw them by running water over them through a strainer for a few minutes.

Frozen shrimp is my go-to protein for fast dinners because:

• They thaw out quickly – no need to remember to pull them out of the freezer well in advance.
• They cook quickly - They usually take about 5 minutes to cook but cooking time will vary depending on the size you use, so keep a close eye on them.

Remember

Shrimp cook very quickly, and overcooking them will make them rubbery and just generally not appetizing. But the nice thing about them is you can tell they are done when they turn from grey to pink.

Shrimp tails

It is up to you whether or not the tails are removed. I like to remove the shrimp's tails before cooking, but the tails can be left on the shrimp for a nicer presentation and removed before eating.
