Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 1 lb large shrimp
- 8 oz smoked sausage
Vegetables:
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 4 cloves garlic
Sauce and Seasonings:
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- Salt
- Pepper
- Cooked rice or quinoa
- Fresh parsley or cilantro
Instructions
- Prepare your honey garlic sauce by whisking ¼ cup honey, ¼ cup soy sauce, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and ¼ tsp red pepper flakes together in a small mixing bowl.
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat at 375°F. Carefully place 8 oz sliced sausage into the pan, cooking for 4-5 minutes until golden brown edges appear.
- Remove browned sausage and transfer to a clean plate, keeping the skillet hot and seasoned.
- Add 1 lb peeled shrimp to the same skillet, seasoning with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until shrimp turn completely pink and look opaque.
- Transfer cooked shrimp to the plate with sausage, maintaining the skillet’s heat.
- Introduce 2 cups broccoli florets to the skillet, sautéing for 4-5 minutes at 400°F until they reach a vibrant green and tender-crisp texture.
- Return sausage and shrimp to the skillet with broccoli, pouring the prepared honey garlic sauce over the entire mixture.
- Stir ingredients gently, allowing sauce to coat everything evenly and simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Serve the complete dish immediately over warm rice or quinoa, sprinkling fresh chopped parsley or cilantro on top for a bright finish.
Notes
- Check shrimp carefully to ensure they are fresh and have no discoloration or strong fishy smell before cooking.
- Choose a high-quality smoked sausage like andouille or kielbasa for maximum flavor depth in the dish.
- Cut broccoli into uniform bite-sized pieces so everything cooks evenly and looks attractive on your plate.
- The sauce thickens quickly, so have all ingredients ready and watch the pan closely to prevent burning or overcooking.
