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
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!
