Ingredients

Scale

Proteins

  • 1 lb peeled and deveined shrimp
  • 8 oz smoked or Italian sausage, sliced into bite-sized pieces

Vegetables

  • 3 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Sauce & Seasoning

  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

Cooking Essentials

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Peel and devein the shrimp if not already done. Slice the sausage into bite-sized pieces. Chop the broccoli into bite-friendly florets. Mince the garlic finely to ensure even flavor distribution.
  2. Cook the Sausage: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage slices and cook for 4-5 minutes until browned on both sides. Remove sausage from the skillet and set aside, keeping the drippings in the pan.
  3. Sauté the Broccoli and Garlic: In the same skillet, add broccoli florets and sauté for 3-4 minutes until bright green and beginning to soften. Add the minced garlic during the last minute, stirring frequently to release its aroma without burning.
  4. Cook the Shrimp: Push the broccoli to one side of the skillet. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque, ensuring they remain tender and juicy.
  5. Make the Honey Garlic Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes (if using). Pour the sauce into the skillet and toss to coat the shrimp, sausage, and broccoli evenly. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish with fresh parsley, green onions, or toasted sesame seeds if desired. Serve immediately with your choice of fluffy rice, quinoa, cauliflower rice, or noodles.

Notes

  • Don’t overcrowd the pan; cook shrimp in batches if needed for even searing.
  • Use fresh garlic for the best flavor.
  • Adjust honey and soy sauce amounts to balance sweetness and saltiness to your preference.
  • Blanch broccoli briefly before sautéing for an extra tender texture.
  • Simmer the sauce longer if you prefer a thicker consistency.
  • Frozen shrimp can be used but should be thawed completely before cooking.
  • Swap regular soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos for a gluten-free version.
