Now before you say anything... I know brussel sprouts aren't for everybody. I used to feel the same way... but, if you give them half a chance you might find that you actually really enjoy these cute little baby cabbages, especially with some shrimp 🍤 .

Shrimp & Brussel Sprouts

1 package peeled and deveined shrimp 🍤

1 package fresh brussel sprouts

2 tbsp Olive oil

1tbsp Low sodium Soy sauce

Black pepper

Mrs Dash Complete seasoning

Garlic powder

Onion powder

2 tbsp Orange marmalade


Directions:

•In a skillet, coat bottom with olive oil and add brussel sprouts

•Season to taste with pepper, Mrs Dash, garlic powder, and onion powder

•Stir frequently and bring to a slight char

•Add shrimp, soy sauce, and orange marmalade

•Continue to stir until shrimp are completely cooked and serve immediately


The soy and orange marmalade serve as a sweet and savory backdrop to those Brussel sprouts bringing out the very best in this veggie.
