Honey Garlic Shrimp, Sausage & Broccoli

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 :

This dish is quick, easy, and perfect for a busy weeknight dinner. The combination of sweet and savory flavors from the honey garlic sauce pairs wonderfully with the shrimp, sausage, and broccoli.
