Ingredients (Serves 4)
For the Honey Garlic Sauce:
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 tbsp soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp grated ginger (optional, for added zing)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Main Ingredients:
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 6 oz smoked sausage, sliced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional for a spicy kick)
- Cooked rice or quinoa (for serving, optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Make the Honey Garlic Sauce
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, ginger, and lemon juice. Set aside—this is going to add the perfect glaze to your dish!
2. Cook the Sausage
Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced sausage and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it’s browned and slightly crispy. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
3. Sauté the Broccoli
In the same skillet, add another 1 tbsp of olive oil. Toss in the broccoli florets and sauté for 4-5 minutes until they’re tender-crisp. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from the pan and set aside with the sausage.
4. Cook the Shrimp
Using the same skillet (we love minimizing dishes!), add the shrimp. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until they turn pink. Be careful not to overcook them.
5. Combine & Glaze
Lower the heat to medium. Add the sausage and broccoli back into the skillet with the shrimp. Pour the honey garlic sauce over everything and toss gently to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes if you like some heat.
6. Serve and Enjoy!
Serve hot over a bed of rice or quinoa if desired, and enjoy the burst of flavors!
