Honey Sesame Shrimp with Radicchio & Brussels Sprouts

Serves 4

Prep time: 20 minutes

Cook time: 15 minutes

Simple ingredients and maximum flavor was what I was shooting for when developing this recipe to feed my wife on her lunch break. She and I both love brussels sprouts. But I have to warn you about the radicchio – it’s a little bitter. Hence the reason I paired it with a protein drizzled in sweet honey. If you’re not a fan, just omit that one ingredient, and stick with the rest.
