    Brussels sprouts are available year round, but their peak season (in the US) is September through February. That makes them perfect for a winter stir fry!

    I found this recipe from Martha Stewart and was instantly intrigued by the shrimp and Brussels sprouts combination. It turns out they are so good together!

    Ingredients:

    Brussels Sprouts - use a mandoline or a food processor to shred them quickly and easily.

    Bean Sprouts - can use canned or fresh. I have also made this without them and it's still delicious!

    Garlic, chili pepper, and green onions - you can omit the pepper if you don't want it spicy.

    Shrimp

    Toasted Sesame Oil - adds so much flavor.

    Lime wedges - for serving. That burst of citrus really brightens this at the end.

    After discovering the joy that is Roasted Brussels Sprouts, I wasn't sure how I would feel about these slivers of it laced through my stir fry.  Turns out I had nothing to worry about, this was so good.

    The stir fried Brussels Sprouts and the bean sprouts paired so nicely with the shrimp.  Served over some brown rice and some fresh lime wedges to squeeze over the top, it was the perfect weeknight dinner!

      I always enjoy your recipes but I must say I am not a fan of the brussel sprouts. Enjoy.

      Sounds like a light and tasty dish. I've never been a huge fan of brussel sprouts except when my parents grew them and they were picked young and sweet. My dear grandmother used to buy the old worn out ones from the green grocer and boil them mercilessly. I don't know how she got them past her nose to actually eat them. *shivers*

      Stir fries really are the best and they can be SO HEALTHY. Love that this incorporates brussels sprouts...not a usual stir fry suspect!
