Lemon Buttery Fish, Grilled Shrimp, & Brussel Sprouts

The guys came home from fixing the fence and were ready to eat. They all jumped in to help me cook so we could eat sooner, that is some motivation! James helped with the fish, Walker was master chef of the shrimp and I did the brussel sprouts. Everyone working together like that we had the shrimp as an appetizer in 15 minutes and were eating our meal in 30 minutes. I have never liked brussel sprouts, no mater how they were prepared. I am not going to lie, the larger brussel sprouts were not that great , the the little ones I could eat a whole serving and THAT is a first! Walker even liked them!
