Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb large shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 8 oz smoked sausage sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce low sodium preferred
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes optional
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooked rice or quinoa for serving
  • Fresh parsley or cilantro chopped (optional, for garnish)

Method
 

  1. Prep the Shrimp: Rinse the shrimp under cold water, pat them dry, and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Slice the Sausage & Broccoli: Slice the smoked sausage into 1/2-inch pieces and cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets.
  3. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes (if using).
  4. Cook the Sausage: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook for 4-5 minutes until browned on both sides. Remove and set aside.
  5. Cook the Shrimp: In the same skillet, cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  6. Cook the Broccoli: Add the broccoli to the skillet and sauté for 4-5 minutes until tender-crisp. If needed, add a splash of water to help steam the broccoli.
  7. Combine & Cook: Return the sausage and shrimp to the skillet. Pour the honey garlic sauce over the mixture and stir to coat. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.
  8. Serve: Serve the honey garlic shrimp, sausage, and broccoli over a bed of rice or quinoa. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro if desired.

Notes

  • Protein Alternatives: You can substitute shrimp with chicken or tofu for different textures.
  • Vegetable Variations: Feel free to add other veggies like bell peppers or snap peas to the dish.
  • Vegan Options: Use plant-based sausage and replace honey with agave syrup for a vegan version.
  • Spice Level: Adjust the red pepper flakes to your preferred spice level. Omit for a milder dish.
