Ingredients
Scale
Protein
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 8 oz smoked sausage, sliced
Vegetables
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Sauce & 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)
Cooking 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 everything aside to streamline the cooking process.
- 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 the sausage and set aside. In the same skillet, add broccoli florets and cook for 3-4 minutes until bright green and just tender. Remove and set aside with the sausage.
- Cook the Shrimp: In the same skillet, add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and are opaque. Remove and set aside.
- Make the Honey Garlic Sauce: Reduce heat to medium and add unsalted butter to the skillet. Once melted, sauté the minced garlic for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in honey, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes if using. Let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened and glossy.
- Combine and Serve: Return the cooked sausage, broccoli, and shrimp to the skillet. Toss to coat everything thoroughly in the honey garlic sauce. Cook for another 2 minutes to heat through and meld the flavors. Optionally, sprinkle fresh lemon juice before serving for a bright finish.
