Wash and trim the end of the Brussels sprouts. If wilted, remove outer leaves. Cut an x in the base of each Brussels sprout.
Steam or boil the Brussels sprouts until tender, about 8-10 minutes. (Note: if steaming only cook one layer at a time, do not stack the sprouts).
Sauté the bacon. When it just begins to brown, add the shallots and cook for 1 to 2 minutes.
Combine the remaining dressing ingredients and pour into the skillet.
Cut the sprouts in half, and toss in the dressing. Serve immediately.
