Shredded Brussels Sprouts

If you don't usually go for Brussels sprouts whole or halved, you might like them better shredded. Especially if you like cabbage (after all, Brussels sprouts look just like little mini cabbages anyway). This method has a more pleasing texture and the addition of shallots and lemon juice really perks up the flavor. (Eh, who am I kidding, if you don't like Brussels sprouts just make yourself a salad.)
