Spicy Shrimp and Brussels Sprout Stir-fry
After eating my weight in candy and cookies, I am ready for something a little lighter. A tad healthier. Something with some color other than chocolate brown. Something light, but still substantial because it is freezing outside – so no wimpy salads need apply. In steps Spicy Shrimp and Brussels Sprout Stir-Fry to the rescue. Stir fries are so nice, aren’t they? Once the prep is done, you are just whipping out dinner in no time and all those little bowls and piles of mise en place makes me feel like such a chef.
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 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 just what I needed! Using my favorite Benriner Japanese Mandolin Vegetable Slicer
– it made quick work of the Brussels sprouts, so this came together really easy.

Why have I never paired shrimp and sprouts together before?! This is beyond brilliant!
I LOVE shrimp with my sprouts! I tossed them together in a salad once and fell hard – texture on texture!
This sounds amazing! I’ve not done this combo before. Love the flavors in this dish!
Pinned! This looks sooooooooo yummy 🙂
love brussels sprouts and am forever trying to get my family to eat them other than just at chrismtas!
I always enjoy your recipes but I must say I am not a fan of the brussel sprouts. Enjoy.
So unique and delicious! I’m slowly coming around to really liking sprouts depending on how their cooked – this would make me happy. And I LOVE your dishes! So cute.
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*
Oh, that sounds disgusting!
Oh yes. 1000x, yes!
Stir fries really are the best and they can be SO HEALTHY. Love that this incorporates brussels sprouts…not a usual stir fry suspect!
