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 olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooked rice or quinoa for serving
- Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes (if using). Set aside. 
Cook the sausage: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced sausage and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned on both sides. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside. 
Cook the shrimp: In the same skillet, add the shrimp. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside with the sausage. 
Cook the broccoli: Add the broccoli florets to the skillet, and sauté for about 4-5 minutes until they are tender-crisp. You can add a splash of water to the skillet to help steam the broccoli if needed. 
Combine and cook: Return the sausage and shrimp to the skillet with the broccoli. Pour the honey garlic sauce over the mixture and stir to coat everything evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and coat the ingredients. 
Serve: Serve the honey garlic shrimp, sausage, and broccoli over cooked rice or quinoa. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro if desired. Enjoy your flavorful and hearty meal!
Notes
- Ingredient Variations: You can use andouille sausage for a spicy kick, or opt for smoked sausage for a deeper flavor. For a lighter option, consider using chicken sausage or even cubed chicken breast.
- Make it Spicy: Add red pepper flakes, chili powder, or a splash of hot sauce to the honey garlic sauce for a spicy version.
- Vegetable Substitutions: While broccoli adds a great crunch, feel free to substitute with other vegetables like bell peppers, green beans, or asparagus.
- Low-Carb Option: Serve this dish over cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles for a low-carb or keto-friendly meal.
- Meal Prep: This dish stores well in the fridge for 3-4 days, and you can freeze leftovers for up to 2 months. Reheat on the stovetop for the best texture, adding a little water or extra sauce to keep it moist.
