This recipe came to be, when there was nothing to eat in the fridge but a bag of Brussels sprouts and half an onion. Since that humble dinner, Stir-Fried Brussel Sprouts with Shrimp has evolved into one our favorite meals with the addition of shrimp, although I love this equally with crispy tofu, or even without a protein at all, served as a side dish.

The dish has an earthy umami flavor that is subtle and soulful. Sometimes I’ll add mushrooms or cashews, but I’ll mostly leave it fairly simple. Serve in big bowls with chopsticks and sriracha, and enjoy this quick healthy meal!

This healthy stir fry comes together in a very short time, but what I love most about it is that its main ingredient, brussels sprouts, one of the most nutritious vegetables we can eat. The prawns or tofu, are really just accents, complimenting and adding protein. My body always feels good after eating this.

Stir-Fried Brussel Sprouts Ingredient Notes

Brussel sprouts are thinly sliced stir-fried with thinly sliced onions until just tender, then seasoned with Furikake Seasoning  -a flavorful Japanese spice mix containing toasted sesame seeds, flecks of seaweed and smoked bonito flakes.

Large shrimp (or crispy tofu) are added to the skillet of tender Brussels sprouts, and seared.

To finish, a little drizzle of toasted sesame oil, gives it a delicious nuttiness.

Furikake is great to have on hand….and can be sprinkled on everything from popcorn,  to avocado toast, to hard-boiled eggs, or on rice for a nice twist. It’s great in miso soup. This is the brand I prefer from the Asian Market, containing no MSG, but it’s also very simple to make your own Furikake spice blend.

Description

Stir Fried Brussel Sprouts with Shrimp (or Tofu) -a quick and healthy Japanese-inspired meal that can be made in under 30 minutes, a delicious weeknight dinner! Gluten-free, Low carb, Paleo!


Ingredients

Scale

 

  • 1 lb thinly sliced Brussel Sprouts ( or sub cabbage)
  • ½ an onion (white, yellow or sweet) thinly sliced
  • 12  tablespoon olive oil or cocout oil
  • ¼ tsp kosher salt, plus more to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper , more to taste
  • 810 oz large shrimp or prawns -raw or cooked, peeled and deveined (or make this Crispy Tofu)
  • drizzle of toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon Furikake, more to taste!
  • chili flakes, chili threads, or sriracha sauce
  • 1/4 cup green onions, sliced for garnish

Instructions

Thinly slice onions and brussel sprouts.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions, and saute, stirring often until just tender about  2-3 minutes. Add shredded brussel sprouts, turn the heat down to medium, and saute until just tender, about 5 minutes, stirring often. You want them to be wilted, not overly cooked. Season generously with salt and pepper.

Make a well in the middle of the pan, and add prawns, and a little drizzle of sesame oil, and continue stirring the shrimp until cook through, about 3-4 minutes. Stir everything together, season with the Furikake spice blend, taste, adjust salt if necessary. I usually add a generous pinch moreof salt, along with more Furikake.

If you want a little more depth, a few drops of soy sauce is nice here too.

Divide in bowls and sprinkle with green onions, a little more Furikake and chili flakes (or siracha sauce) and serve with chopsticks.

 


Notes

Go to this post to make Furikake .

If subbing tofu, make this Crispy tofu first, then add it to the brussels sprouts.

  1. This is my favorite food blog, and I have made and loved dozens of recipes. I love trying new stuff. However, this recipe was disappointing. The flavors didn’t fully blend and it was missing something. Acid, maybe? The Furikake was a nice seasoning for the Brussels but made the shrimp taste fishy. The chili flakes gave heat but didn’t add to the flavor. This is the only bummer recipe I’ve come across on this site, so I should go through and give all the positive reviews to the other recipes, too!






    1. Hi Larisa, I’m sorry this didn’t do it for you! I haven’t made it in a really long time, so I will have to remake it. 🙂 Did you use the toasted Sesame oil at the end? Also Sriracha does add acidity because of the vinegar in it, and I remember always adding a bit of that. I wonder if that could have helped? I appreciate your feed back, very helpful!

  2. It was good but I enhanced it a little. I added a small amount of warm sushi rice and topped with the hash/shrimp. I added some fresno chili for spice, a splash of tamari to finish and fresh sliced basil (thai basil would be best). I’m going to make this again with salmon. I LOVE furikake so I was sold as soon as I saw the picture. Great inspiration!






  3. Made this last night and it was amazing. I couldn’t get the furakaki so made my own With everything but the bonito flakes. It was a huge hit and so easy!






      1. Thank you so much. I’m on the hunt for one ingredient and that’s the furikai. Headed to my nearest Asian market. Thanks

  4. I have always loved shrimp and until last year I have always disliked Brussels sprouts. But now I like them. I am unfamiliar with the furikake seasoning. I like the pink and green colors too. 🙂

  5. I stumbled upon your blog via Food Gawker and am so glad I did! Your photos are so gorgeous! I’m always looking for more food photography inspo so this is awesome!

  6. I absolutely LOVE the flavor that furikake (this was autocorrected to fruitcake, yuck! haha) gives and it is so simple! I subscribed to your blog and I’m loving the detox updates coming my way. Thank you 🙂

    1. I know the fruitcake autocorrect has driven me up the wall!! Thanks for subscribing….Happy New year Christina!
