Description

A quick and flavorful Honey Garlic Shrimp, Sausage & Broccoli stir-fry that combines tender shrimp, smoky sausage, and crisp-tender broccoli coated in a sticky honey garlic sauce. This easy skillet recipe is perfect for a nutritious weeknight dinner ready in just 20 minutes.


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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
