Ingredients
Scale
Shrimp
- 1 lb medium or large peeled and deveined shrimp
Sausage
- 8 oz smoked sausage (such as kielbasa), sliced
Vegetables
- 3 cups fresh broccoli florets
Sauce & Flavorings
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 cloves garlic, freshly minced
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari/coconut aminos for gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter (for sautéing)
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Rinse and pat dry the shrimp, slice the sausage into bite-sized pieces, and chop the broccoli into florets. Mince the garlic and measure out honey, soy sauce, and other ingredients before heating the pan.
- Cook Sausage: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add oil or butter. Add sliced sausage and cook 4-5 minutes until browned and slightly crispy. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Sauté Broccoli: In the same skillet, add broccoli florets and cook 3-4 minutes until tender yet crisp. Optionally, add a splash of water and cover briefly to steam for quicker cooking.
- Cook Shrimp and Garlic: Add a bit more oil if needed, then sauté minced garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Quickly add shrimp and cook 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque.
- Combine and Glaze: Return sausage to skillet, drizzle honey and soy sauce over all ingredients. Stir gently to coat and cook 1-2 more minutes allowing sauce to thicken slightly.
- Final Touch: Add optional red pepper flakes and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired. Serve hot immediately.
Notes
- Use fresh or properly thawed shrimp for best texture and flavor.
- Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook in batches if necessary to prevent steaming.
- Add garlic shortly before shrimp to prevent burning or bitterness.
- Start with less honey; adjust sweetness to your preference.
- Let the dish rest off heat for a couple of minutes to allow flavors to meld.
- For gluten-free option, substitute soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos.
- To add heat, increase red pepper flakes or add fresh chopped chili.
