Ingredients
Scale
Protein
- 1/2 pound large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 6 ounces smoked sausage (sliced into rounds)
Vegetables
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
Sauce & Seasonings
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes for spice
Cooking Fats
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
Optional Serving
- Cooked rice or noodles for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, low-sodium soy sauce, lemon juice, and minced garlic. Set this flavorful honey garlic sauce aside for later use.
- Cook the sausage: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the smoked sausage slices and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until they are nicely browned and release their smoky flavor. Push the sausage to one side of the skillet to make room for the next ingredients.
- Steam the broccoli: Add the broccoli florets to the skillet. Pour a splash of water into the pan, cover with a lid, and let the broccoli steam for 3 to 4 minutes until it becomes bright green and tender-crisp. This helps retain the vegetable’s nutrients and crunch.
- Add butter and mix: Remove the lid and add the tablespoon of butter. Stir everything in the skillet together to combine flavors and coat the vegetables and sausage evenly.
- Cook the shrimp: Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the skillet. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through, ensuring they stay tender and juicy.
- Add sauce and finish cooking: Pour the prepared honey garlic sauce over the shrimp, sausage, and broccoli. Stir well to coat everything evenly. Cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to slightly thicken and cling to the ingredients.
- Serve: Serve the dish hot over cooked rice or noodles if desired for a complete and satisfying meal.
Notes
- You can substitute the broccoli with green beans or bell peppers for variety.
- For a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the honey garlic sauce when mixing.
- This recipe is perfect for quick weeknight dinners or prepping meals ahead of time.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce to control the saltiness and make the dish healthier.
