Ingredients
Scale
Protein
- 1 pound large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 8 ounces smoked sausage (sliced into rounds)
Vegetables
- 3 cups broccoli florets
Sauce
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger (grated)
Others
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (optional, for thickening)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooked rice for serving (optional)
- Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
- Chopped green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger until well combined. Set aside to let the flavors meld.
- Cook the sausage: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced smoked sausage and cook for about 4–5 minutes until browned and slightly crispy. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté the broccoli: In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the broccoli florets and cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they turn bright green and are slightly tender but still crisp.
- Cook the shrimp: Push the broccoli to one side of the skillet, add the shrimp to the other side, and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through.
- Combine ingredients and add sauce: Return the browned sausage to the skillet with the shrimp and broccoli. Pour the prepared honey garlic sauce over everything and stir well to coat all the ingredients evenly.
- Thicken the sauce (optional): If you prefer a thicker sauce, stir in the cornstarch slurry and simmer the mixture for 1–2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Season and serve: Season the stir fry with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot over cooked rice if desired, and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for added flavor and presentation.
Notes
- You can substitute smoked sausage with turkey sausage or kielbasa based on your preference.
- Frozen broccoli works well; just thaw and pat dry completely before cooking to avoid excess moisture.
- For a spicy kick, add a dash of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
- To make it gluten-free, use tamari sauce instead of soy sauce.
- Serve over rice or quinoa to make it a fuller meal.
