Receta Shaved Brussels Sprouts
It's a rare thing that I look at a menu, see an item with the main ingredient of brussels sprouts and say to myself, "yes, I think I'll order that!"
It's probably just as rare that you ask your server what they think of a brussels sprouts dish and have them respond, "ooh, that's one of my favorites!"

I bought the bag, brought it home, and got crackin' on coming up with a recipe. I think this comes pretty close, although my kitchen can't hold a candle next to the view at Catch 54.
