How to Make Honey Garlic Shrimp, Sausage and Broccoli
Ingredients:
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 8 oz smoked sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Cooked rice or quinoa for serving
- Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped (optional for garnish)
Directions:
Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes. Set it aside for later.
Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet, heat some olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced sausage and cook it for about 4-5 minutes until it’s browned all over. Once done, take it out of the skillet and set it aside.
Cook the Shrimp: In the same skillet, add the shrimp. Season it with salt and pepper. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp and set it aside with the sausage.
Cook the Broccoli: Add the broccoli florets to the skillet. Sauté for about 4-5 minutes until they are tender but still crisp. If you need, add a splash of water to help steam them a bit.
Combine Everything: Return the cooked shrimp and sausage to the skillet. Pour the honey garlic sauce over everything and stir well to coat. Let it cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Serve: Serve your delicious dish over cooked rice or quinoa, and garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro if you like. Enjoy!
