Description
A delicious combination of roasted shrimp and brussels sprouts, perfect for a quick and healthy meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb. jumbo frozen shrimp, thawed and drained well (I used 16–25 size shrimp)
- 1 lb. brussels sprouts, stems trimmed and cut in half
- 2 T olive oil
- salt and fresh-ground black pepper to taste
- 1/3 cup soy sauce (gluten-free if needed)
- 2 T rice vinegar
- 2 T granulated Monk Fruit sweetener or other sweetener of your choice
- 2 tsp. Agave Nectar or another sweetener of your choice
- 1 T Asian sesame oil
- 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
Instructions
- Thaw shrimp overnight in the refrigerator.
- At least 15-20 minutes before you’re starting to cook, put the shrimp in a colander placed in the sink.
- Put brussels sprouts into a bowl and toss with desired amount of olive oil, salt, and fresh-ground black pepper, then spread the brussels sprouts out in a single layer on the baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes.
- After the brussels sprouts have cooked for 15 minutes, drain the shrimp well in a colander placed in the sink.
- Remove baking sheet from the oven, push the brussels sprouts over to one side, and spread the drained shrimp out in a single layer.
- Put back in the oven and roast until shrimp have turned pink and are barely firm, about 6-8 minutes.
- Remove the sheet pan from the oven, give the shrimp and brussels sprouts a stir, and brush with the remaining marinade/glaze.
- Serve the Shrimp and Brussels Sprouts meal immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- The stickiness of the agave helps the glaze stick to the food.
- Smaller shrimp will cook more quickly; don’t overcook the shrimp for best flavor.
