Best Cast Iron Skillet Brussels Sprouts With Shrimp And Mushrooms Recipes

SPICY SHRIMP AND BRUSSELS SPROUT STIR-FRY

Steps:

• In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil over medium-high. In 2 batches, saute brussels sprouts until tender, 5 minutes total; season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a platter. Add bean sprouts to pan and cook until heated through, 1 minute; add to platter.
• Wipe out pan, add remaining tablespoon vegetable oil, and return to heat. Add garlic, chile, and scallion whites and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add shrimp, season with salt and pepper, and saute until opaque throughout, about 4 minutes. Add to platter, drizzle with sesame oil, top with scallion greens, and toss. Serve with lime wedges.

SEARED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Trim the ends off the brussels sprouts, and cut in half lengthwise through the stem end.
• Heat the oil in a large, heavy skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium-high heat. When the skillet is just short of smoking, place the brussels sprouts cut side down in the oil. Turn the heat to medium, and sear on one side until nicely browned, about three minutes. Turn the brussels sprouts over and cook on the other side until nicely browned and tender, three to five minutes. Some of the leaves can be charred dark brown or black. Remove from the heat, season with salt and pepper and serve.

PAN FRIED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat until the oil shimmers, and cook garlic, stirring often, until golden brown and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Stir in onion and cook until soft, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Add Brussels sprouts to the skillet and cook without stirring until the undersides of the sprouts turn golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir to turn sprouts over, and cook other sides until golden brown, another 5 to 7 minutes. Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

CAST-IRON SKILLET BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH SHRIMP AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Combine the rice with 2 cups water and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, and then reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook until the rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the garlic, ginger, soy sauce, honey and crushed red pepper in a small bowl. Set the sauce aside.
• Heat a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil to the hot skillet, then swirl to coat the bottom entirely. Place the Brussels sprouts cut-side down in a single layer. Cook, undisturbed, until the sprouts have developed a golden-brown crust, about 2 minutes. Toss the sprouts, then continue to cook until they're bright green and crisp tender, about 2 minutes.
• Add 1 more tablespoon of the vegetable oil to the skillet along with the mushrooms and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and browned in spots, about 2 minutes.
• Create space for the shrimp in the middle of the skillet and add the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Lay the shrimp flat in a single layer and cook until the shrimp have turned pink and a light crust begins to form, about 3 minutes. Flip and continue to cook until just cooked through, about 1 minute.
• Pour the sauce over the shrimp and vegetables, then toss until everything is evenly coated and the sauce has reduced slightly, about 1 minute.
• Divide the rice and Brussels sprout mixture between 2 serving bowls. Top with the scallions, drizzle with sesame oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
