Ingredients
Scale
Protein
- 1/2 pound large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 1/2 pound smoked sausage (sliced into 1/2-inch rounds)
Vegetables
- 2 cups broccoli florets
Sauce & Seasonings
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Garnish
- Chopped green onions
- Sesame seeds
Instructions
- Make the sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, and crushed red pepper flakes if using. Set aside to let the flavors meld.
- Cook the sausage. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced smoked sausage and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on both sides. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.
- Cook the broccoli. Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the same skillet. Add the broccoli florets and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until they are slightly tender but still crisp, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Push the broccoli to one side of the skillet to make space for the shrimp.
- Cook the shrimp. Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the empty side of the skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on one side until pink and opaque, then flip and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes on the other side until fully cooked.
- Combine and simmer. Return the cooked sausage to the skillet. Pour in the prepared honey garlic sauce over the shrimp, sausage, and broccoli. Stir everything together to coat all ingredients evenly. Lower the heat and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Garnish and serve. Remove from heat. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot for a delicious, balanced meal.
Notes
- This dish pairs wonderfully with steamed white rice, cauliflower rice, or noodles for a complete meal.
- For a lighter option, substitute smoked sausage with turkey or chicken sausage.
- Add bell peppers or snap peas for extra color, crunch, and nutrition.
- Use gluten-free soy sauce to make this recipe suitable for a gluten-free diet.
