Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 beef sausage, sliced into rounds
Vegetables:
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
Sauce and Seasonings:
- ¼ cup honey
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
- Sesame seeds
- Green onions
Instructions
- Whisk ¼ cup honey, 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, and ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Create a vibrant sauce that combines sweet and savory flavors.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet at medium temperature (375°F). Add beef sausage slices and cook 4-5 minutes until golden brown on both sides.
- Remove sausage from the pan and set aside. Add shrimp to the same skillet, cooking 2 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque at medium heat.
- Transfer shrimp to the plate with sausage. Add broccoli florets to the skillet and sauté 3-4 minutes until bright green and slightly tender.
- Return sausage and shrimp to the pan with broccoli. Pour prepared honey garlic sauce over the ingredients, stirring to coat everything evenly.
- For a thicker sauce, dissolve 1 teaspoon cornstarch in 1 tablespoon water. Stir into the pan and simmer 1 minute until sauce slightly thickens.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve immediately while the dish is hot and sauce is glossy.
Notes
- Choose large, fresh shrimp for the best texture and flavor in this dish.
- Pat shrimp completely dry before cooking to ensure they sear instead of steam and develop a nice golden color.
- Cut broccoli into uniform pieces so they cook evenly and maintain a crisp-tender texture.
- For a low-carb version, serve the mixture over cauliflower rice instead of traditional rice.
