How can I make the brussel sprouts crispy?

Make sure they are not crowded in the pan. If you have a lot to cook, then do them in two batches. Also, don't cover the pan so they brown and not steam.

How will I know when the brussels sprouts are done?

These brussels sprouts will take about 10 minutes. They should be very dark brown and crispy. Try cutting one in half with a fork and if the fork can easily go through, they are done.

How do I prevent them from burning?

You are starting off with the skillet on medium-high heat to get them going. Keep an eye on them. If the butter is browning too much or the pan is smoking, lower heat to low-medium.
