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
- 1 lb thinly sliced Brussel Sprouts ( or sub cabbage)
- ½ an onion (white, yellow or sweet) thinly sliced
- 1–2 tablespoon olive oil or cocout oil
- ¼ tsp kosher salt, plus more to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper , more to taste
- 8–10 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.

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