Brussels sprouts, trim the ends and halve them Oil Salt & Pepper to taste Zest of one lemon Lay the Brussels sprouts in a single layer in a baking pan. Drizzle with oil so that each sprout gets a little, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and lemon zest. Bake at 375 for about 20 minutes, turning them over halfway to prevent sticking and burning. **For the sauce:** Juice of 2 lemons ½ cup white wine 1 T butter ¼ cup grated Parmesan 2 leaves fresh basil, chopped Combine lemon juice, wine, and butter in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally. When just about ready to serve, add the cheese and let it melt, stirring constantly, then add the basil and turn off the heat. **For the shrimp:** 1 lb. shrimp, peeled and deveined 1 T lemon juice Salt to taste 1/8 t chili powder 1/8 t paprika 1-2 T oil Marinate shrimp in lemon juice and spices. When the other elements are almost ready, heat the oil on a frying pan, then add the shrimp. Cook about 1 minute per side, until just pink. **For the garnish:** ½ cup pumpkin seeds Salt to taste Lay the pumpkin seeds on a cookie sheet and sprinkle with salt. Bake at 350 for about 4 minutes, but check them every minute. They go from green to burnt very quickly. Plate the Brussels sprouts, then the shrimp, then the sauce. Garnish with the pumpkin seeds and more Parmesan, if desired. Enjoy! ![2020 0626 KUllo 1](https://www.catholicmom.com/hs-fs/hubfs/2020%200626%20KUllo%201.jpg?width=1180&name=2020%200626%20KUllo%201.jpg) > [For #MeatlessFriday, cook up a quick shrimp dish with a savory side. #catholicmom](https://ctt.ac/atneh) --- Copyright 2020 Karen Ullo Image: Copyright 2020 Karen Ullo.
