Ingredients
Scale
Seafood & Meat
- 1 lb fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 8 oz smoked sausage, sliced into bite-sized rounds
Vegetables
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Sauce & Seasonings
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari/coconut aminos for gluten-free)
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
Oils & Fats
- 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Peel and devein the shrimp if necessary. Slice the smoked sausage into bite-sized rounds. Chop broccoli into evenly sized florets to ensure even cooking.
- Cook the Sausage: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil or butter. Cook sausage slices until browned on both sides and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Sauté Broccoli: In the same skillet, add broccoli florets and cook for 3-4 minutes until bright green and slightly tender but still crisp. Optionally, add a splash of water and cover to steam for 1 minute to soften further.
- Cook the Shrimp: Add more oil or butter if needed. Add shrimp and minced garlic to the skillet, stirring frequently. Cook shrimp until they turn pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Make the Honey Garlic Sauce: Return the browned sausage to the skillet. Add honey, soy sauce, and lemon juice. Toss everything together in the skillet, letting the sauce thicken slightly and coat the shrimp, sausage, and broccoli in a glossy, sticky layer. Add red pepper flakes if desired for a touch of heat.
- Serve Immediately: Remove from heat and serve warm. Optionally garnish with fresh herbs or extra lemon wedges if desired.
Notes
- You can substitute smoked sausage with kielbasa or chorizo for different flavors.
- Using tamari or coconut aminos makes this dish gluten-free.
- Adjust red pepper flakes according to your heat preference.
- For a richer sauce, consider adding a splash of water or broth if the mixture dries out during cooking.
- Serve with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
