Ingredients
- "1 lb large shrimp peeled and deveined",
- "12 oz smoked sausage like kielbasa, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds",
- "3 cups fresh broccoli florets about 1 medium head",
- "3 tablespoons honey"
- "3 tablespoons soy sauce"
- "1 tablespoon lemon juice"
- "4 cloves garlic minced",
- "1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional",
- "2 tablespoons olive oil divided",
- "Salt and pepper to taste",
- "Cooked rice or noodles for serving (optional)",
- "Fresh parsley or sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes (if using). Set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add broccoli florets and sauté for 3-5 minutes until tender-crisp and bright green. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Remove broccoli and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced sausage. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and slightly crispy on the edges. Remove and set aside with the broccoli.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet. Add shrimp and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, until they turn pink and opaque. Remove shrimp and set aside.
- Return the broccoli and sausage to the skillet with the shrimp. Pour the honey garlic sauce over everything and stir to coat evenly. Simmer for 3-5 minutes, letting the sauce thicken.
- Serve over rice or noodles, or enjoy as is. Garnish with parsley or sesame seeds if desired.
Notes
- For extra flavor, marinate the shrimp in 1/3 of the sauce for 20 minutes before cooking.
- Avoid overcooking shrimp—remove when they turn pink to keep them tender.
- Add bell peppers or snap peas for more veggies.
