Instructions
- 1Whisk together the honey, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and fresh ginger in a bowl. Add the shrimp and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for 1–3 hours.
- 2Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large wok or sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the brussels sprouts and stir-fry for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the edges are golden brown and caramelized and the flesh is tender when pierced with a fork.
- 3Drizzle the cooked brussels sprouts with a small amount of honey, season with salt and pepper, and toss to combine. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
- 4Add the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to the pan and return to medium-high heat. Add the fresh garlic and scallion whites (the lighter part), and cook for 30 seconds over medium-high heat until fragrant.
- 5Remove the shrimp from the marinade using a slotted spoon and add directly to the pan. Season with salt and pepper, and sauté for 3–4 minutes over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp turn opaque throughout and reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
- 6Return the brussels sprouts to the pan with the shrimp. Drizzle with the toasted sesame oil and toss gently to combine.
- 7Divide the shrimp and brussels sprout mixture evenly into 2 airtight containers while hot. Top with the scallion greens before sealing.
