Ingredients
- 1 lb (450g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 8 oz (225g) smoked sausage, sliced into ½-inch pieces
- 2 cups broccoli florets (fresh preferred, but frozen works)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Honey Garlic Sauce:
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for spice)
Instructions
Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.
Cook the Sausage: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced sausage and cook for 3-4 minutes until browned. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Sauté the Shrimp: Add ½ tablespoon olive oil to the skillet. Season shrimp with salt and pepper, then cook for about 2 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Cook the Broccoli: Add the remaining ½ tablespoon olive oil to the skillet. Toss in the broccoli and garlic, seasoning with salt and pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the broccoli is tender but still crisp.
Combine Everything: Return the sausage and shrimp to the skillet. Pour the honey garlic sauce over everything, stirring well to coat. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Serve & Enjoy: Plate the shrimp, sausage, and broccoli mixture as is, or serve over rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
