Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1 lb large shrimp
- 8 oz smoked sausage
Vegetables:
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 4 cloves garlic
Sauce and Seasonings:
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup 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
- Thoroughly rinse shrimp under cold water, then pat completely dry with paper towels. Season your shrimp generously with ½ tsp salt and ¼ tsp black pepper.
- Slice 8 oz smoked sausage into precise ½-inch medallions. Chop 2 cups broccoli florets into bite-sized pieces approximately 1-inch wide.
- Combine ¼ cup honey, ¼ cup low sodium soy sauce, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and ¼ tsp red pepper flakes in a small mixing bowl. Whisk until ingredients are smoothly integrated.
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat (375°F). Add sausage slices and cook for 4-5 minutes, flipping midway to ensure golden-brown edges on both sides.
- Transfer sausage to a clean plate. Keep skillet hot and add shrimp in a single layer. Cook 2-3 minutes per side until shrimp turn completely pink and opaque.
- Remove shrimp and place beside sausage. Drop broccoli florets into the same skillet and saute 4-5 minutes until edges become slightly crisp. Splash 2 tbsp water if needed to help steaming.
- Return sausage and shrimp to skillet. Pour prepared honey garlic sauce over entire mixture, stirring gently to coat each piece evenly.
- Simmer everything together for 2-3 minutes until sauce slightly thickens and clings to proteins. Maintain medium heat around 325°F.
- Plate your creation over 1 cup cooked rice or quinoa. Optionally scatter 1 tbsp fresh chopped parsley or cilantro on top for added brightness.
Notes
- Pat shrimp completely dry before cooking to ensure a perfect sear and prevent watery texture.
- Use high heat when cooking shrimp to keep them tender and prevent overcooking, which makes them rubbery.
- Replace soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos for a gluten-free version that maintains rich flavor.
- For a lower-carb option, serve over cauliflower rice instead of traditional grains to reduce overall calories.
