Trim the stems of the Brussels sprouts and remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves. Rinse them thoroughly under cold water.
Slice the Brussels sprouts in half lengthwise for faster cooking and even flavor absorption.
Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat until melted and slightly foamy.
Finely chop the garlic cloves and the shallot. Add them to the skillet and sauté for 1–2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and slightly translucent.
Add the halved Brussels sprouts to the skillet, cut side down. Cook for about 5–7 minutes, allowing the cut sides to develop a golden-brown crust.
Flip the Brussels sprouts and cook on the other side for an additional 3–4 minutes, until tender but still slightly crisp.
In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper.
Reduce the heat to low and pour the sour cream mixture over the Brussels sprouts in the skillet. Stir gently to coat the sprouts evenly.
Cook for an additional 2–3 minutes on low heat, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve warm as a side dish or with crusty bread for a light meal.
