Most of my best recipes are beautiful accidents. This is a perfect example of one of my best accidents. This dish was created on a night when I had produce and shrimp that would spoil if they were not used. Shrimp and Brussels sprouts and mandarin oranges? Turns out they have more in common than I thought!

Most of my best recipes are beautiful accidents. This is a perfect example of one of my best accidents. This dish was created on a night when I had produce and shrimp that would spoil if they were not used. Shrimp and Brussels sprouts and mandarin oranges? Turns out they have more in common than I thought!

This is super fast to make, especially if you use a mandolin to quickly slice all of the veggies. I like to make it ahead so all of the yummy flavors have time to blend and infuse the Brussels sprouts.

Prepare dressing and marinate shrimp while you prepare the slaw. Slice all vegetables and place them in a large bowl.

Mix in shrimp with dressing. Top with remaining sesame seeds. Chill until serving.

This slaw is the perfect side dish to my Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I like to stack it all on a piece of lettuce. You REALLY have to try this combo!

This slaw is great to make ahead of time for a gathering or BBQ. It actually tastes better the second day. I made a huge container of this slaw for a church dinner and didn’t take home any leftovers. My Bomb Broccoli Salad was a hit as well. Check out the recipe! And it makes the PERFECT side dish to my Chicken Lettuce Wraps.
