Ingredients
Protein
- 1 lb fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 8 oz smoked sausage, sliced into bite-sized rounds
Vegetables
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Sauce & Seasonings
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari/coconut aminos for gluten-free)
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
Cooking Fats
- 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
Instructions
- Prep Ingredients: Peel and devein the shrimp if necessary. Slice the smoked sausage into bite-sized rounds. Chop broccoli into evenly sized florets to ensure even cooking.
- Cook Sausage: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil or butter. Add the sausage slices, cooking until browned on both sides and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Cook Broccoli: In the same skillet, add broccoli florets and cook for 3-4 minutes until bright green and slightly tender but still crisp. Optionally, add a splash of water and cover the skillet to steam the broccoli for 1 minute for extra tenderness.
- Cook Shrimp and Garlic: Add more oil or butter if needed. Add the shrimp and minced garlic to the skillet, stirring frequently. Cook until shrimp turn pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Combine and Sauce: Return the cooked sausage to the skillet. Add honey, soy sauce, and lemon juice. Toss everything together, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the shrimp, sausage, and broccoli with a glossy, sticky layer. Add red pepper flakes if you prefer some heat.
- Serve: Remove from heat and serve warm. Garnish as desired with fresh herbs or extra lemon wedges.
Notes
- For a gluten-free version, substitute soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos.
- You can steam the broccoli by adding a splash of water and covering the skillet to keep it crisp yet tender.
- Adjust red pepper flakes according to your heat preference or omit for a milder dish.
- Use butter for a richer flavor or olive oil for a lighter option.
- This dish pairs well with steamed rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
