Description
A sweet, savory, and smoky one-skillet meal featuring shrimp, sausage, and broccoli tossed in a glossy honey garlic sauce — ready in under 30 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 8 oz smoked sausage (andouille or kielbasa), sliced
- 3 cups broccoli florets (fresh or thawed frozen)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (low-sodium if preferred)
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tsp cornstarch + 2 tsp water (for slurry)
- 1 tbsp oil (for stir-frying)
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced sausage and sear until browned and slightly crispy. Remove and set aside.
- Add a splash of oil to the same skillet. Add broccoli and stir-fry until bright green and tender-crisp. Add a tablespoon of water and cover briefly to steam if using fresh broccoli.
- Add shrimp to the skillet. Cook 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove from skillet.
- In a bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, and red pepper flakes.
- Pour sauce into the skillet and bring to a simmer. Add cornstarch slurry and stir until sauce thickens.
- Return sausage, shrimp, and broccoli to the skillet. Toss to coat evenly in the sauce.
- Serve hot over rice, noodles, or on its own.
Notes
- To save time, prep ingredients while shrimp thaws.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan — cook in batches if needed.
- Adjust sauce balance to taste with more honey or soy sauce.
- Store leftovers in the fridge up to 3 days or freeze for 2 months.
