Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. (2 minutes)

02

Step

Arrange shrimp in a single layer in the prepared baking dish. In a separate bowl, whisk together lemon juice, melted butter, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, lemon pepper, and red chile powder. Pour the mixture evenly over the shrimp. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Roast in the preheated oven until the shrimp turn pink and opaque, approximately 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Reduce oven temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). (10 minutes)

04

Step

In a large bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with sliced red onion and extra-virgin olive oil. Season generously with salt and pepper. Spread the mixture evenly on a baking sheet. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Roast the Brussels sprouts and onion in the preheated oven until they are tender and starting to brown, about 20 minutes. (20 minutes)

06

Step

While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, bring water to a boil in a saucepan. Add instant brown rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until all the water is absorbed, about 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork. (8 minutes)

07

Step

Divide the cooked brown rice among 4 serving bowls. Top with the roasted lemon-garlic shrimp and the roasted Brussels sprouts-onion mixture. Serve immediately and enjoy! (3 minutes)

For an extra touch of flavor, marinate the shrimp in the lemon-garlic sauce for 30 minutes before roasting.
If you prefer a deeper roasted flavor for the Brussels sprouts, you can increase the roasting time by 5-10 minutes.
Feel free to substitute other vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini for the Brussels sprouts.
Adjust the amount of red chile powder according to your spice preference. A pinch of cayenne pepper also works well.
For a complete meal, consider adding a side of crusty bread to soak up the delicious lemon-garlic sauce.
