Ingredients
Scale
Seafood & Meat
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 8 oz smoked sausage, sliced
Vegetables
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Sauces & Seasonings
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (optional)
Oils & Fats
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Peel and devein the shrimp, slice the sausage, and cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets. Mince the garlic and set all ingredients aside for cooking.
- Cook the Sausage and Broccoli: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced sausage and cook for 3-4 minutes until browned and slightly crispy. Remove sausage and set aside. In the same skillet, cook broccoli florets for 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender, then remove and set aside with the sausage.
- Cook the Shrimp: Using the same skillet, cook shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque. Remove and set aside.
- Make the Honey Garlic Sauce: Reduce heat to medium and add the unsalted butter to the skillet. Once melted, add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in honey, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes if using. Allow the sauce to simmer for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly and becomes glossy.
- Combine and Serve: Return the cooked sausage, broccoli, and shrimp to the skillet. Toss everything together until well coated with the honey garlic sauce. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through. Optionally, drizzle with fresh lemon juice before serving.
Notes
- Adjust red pepper flakes to your preferred spice level or omit for a milder flavor.
- For a gluten-free version, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
- Ensure shrimp is fully cooked by checking that it’s opaque with no translucent centers.
- Serve over rice or noodles for a complete meal.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
