Cast-Iron Skillet Brussels Sprouts with Shrimp and Mushrooms image

If you're wondering what to do with your cast-iron skillet, this is a great recipe to try. The cast iron chars the Brussels sprouts and gives mushrooms and tender shrimp a delectable crust. This is the dish that made me fall in love with my skillet and it's still in my weeknight dinner rotation.

Time 25m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup jasmine rice
Kosher salt
2 cloves garlic, peeled and finely grated
1-inch piece fresh ginger, finely grated
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon honey
Pinch crushed red pepper
4 tablespoons vegetable oil or ghee
1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved lengthwise (quartered if large)
One 3.5-ounce package shiitake mushrooms, stemmed, caps thickly sliced
8 ounces large shrimp (8 to 10), peeled and deveined, tails intact
1 scallion, thinly sliced
Toasted sesame oil, for serving
Sesame seeds, for serving

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.
