Scale
Main Proteins:
- 1 pound (454 grams) large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 8 ounces (226 grams) smoked sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
Vegetables and Herbs:
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped (for garnish, optional)
Sauce and Seasonings:
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Serving Suggestion:
- Cooked rice or quinoa
Instructions
- Whisk honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl to create a vibrant, tangy sauce. Set mixture aside for later use.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high temperature. Sizzle sliced sausage for 4-5 minutes, rotating occasionally until golden brown and crispy edges form.
- Transfer browned sausage to a separate plate, keeping the skillet’s flavorful residue.
- Introduce seasoned shrimp to the same skillet, sprinkling with salt and pepper. Cook 2-3 minutes per side until they transform into a beautiful pink color and become translucent.
- Remove shrimp and place alongside sausage, maintaining their warmth.
- Toss broccoli florets into the skillet, sautéing for 4-5 minutes. Splash water if needed to help steam and maintain vibrant green color.
- Reunite sausage and shrimp with broccoli in the skillet. Drizzle prepared honey garlic sauce, stirring thoroughly to ensure even coating.
- Simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing sauce to caramelize and slightly thicken around ingredients.
- Plate over steamed rice or quinoa, garnishing with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for added freshness and visual appeal.
Notes
- Adjust spiciness by modifying red pepper flakes for personal heat preference.
- Swap protein options like using chicken or tofu for different dietary needs.
- Choose low-sodium soy sauce to reduce salt content for health-conscious individuals.
- Fresh garlic provides more robust flavor compared to pre-minced alternatives.
