Ingredients

Scale
  • 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.

Notes

  • Adjust spice level by increasing or decreasing the red pepper flakes.
  • For a leaner version, use turkey or chicken sausage.
  • Swap broccoli for other veggies like bell peppers, snap peas, or asparagus.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
