Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 8 oz smoked sausage, sliced into bite-sized rounds
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari/coconut aminos for gluten-free)
- 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Peel and devein the shrimp if necessary. Slice the smoked sausage into bite-sized rounds. Chop broccoli into evenly sized florets to ensure even cooking.
- Cook the Sausage: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil or butter. Cook sausage slices until browned on both sides and fragrant. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Sauté Broccoli: In the same skillet, add broccoli florets and cook 3-4 minutes until bright green and slightly tender but still crisp. Optionally, add a splash of water and cover to steam for 1 minute.
- Cook the Shrimp: Add more oil or butter if needed. Add shrimp and minced garlic, stirring frequently. Cook until shrimp turn pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Make the Honey Garlic Sauce: Return sausage to skillet. Add honey, soy sauce, and lemon juice. Toss everything together, letting the sauce thicken and coat the shrimp, sausage, and broccoli in a glossy sticky layer. Add red pepper flakes if desired for heat.
- Serve Immediately: Remove from heat and serve warm. Garnish as desired.
Notes
- Use fresh or fully thawed shrimp for best texture.
- Do not overcook shrimp to avoid rubbery texture.
- Cut broccoli into uniform pieces for even cooking.
- Allow sauce to simmer for a minute without stirring too much for better thickening.
- Adjust honey amount to your preferred sweetness level.
