Ingredients
Scale
Proteins
- 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)
Cooking Medium
- 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. For extra tenderness, add a splash of water and cover the skillet to steam for 1 minute.
- Cook the Shrimp: Add more oil or butter to the skillet if needed. Add shrimp and minced garlic, stirring frequently. Cook until shrimp turn pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Make the Honey Garlic Sauce: Return the cooked sausage to the skillet. Add honey, soy sauce, and fresh lemon juice. Toss everything together, letting the sauce thicken and coat the shrimp, sausage, and broccoli in a glossy sticky layer. Add red pepper flakes if you want a spicy kick.
- Serve Immediately: Remove the skillet from heat and serve the dish while warm. Garnish as desired and enjoy your flavorful honey garlic shrimp, sausage, and broccoli meal.
