Ingredients

• Shrimp: peeled and deveined, fresh or frozen

• Sausage: Italian or smoked, sliced into bite-sized pieces

• Broccoli: fresh florets, or frozen if short on time

• Honey: pure, or substitute with maple syrup for a different twist

• Garlic: minced, or use garlic paste for convenience

• Soy Sauce: low-sodium preferred

• Olive Oil: or avocado oil for high-heat cooking

• Red Pepper Flakes: optional for a slight kick

• Lemon Juice: fresh, to brighten flavors

• Salt and Pepper: to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Shrimp and Sausage

Pat the shrimp dry and season lightly with salt and pepper. Slice your sausage into bite-sized pieces. Preheating your pan will ensure a golden sear.

Step 2: Cook the Sausage

Heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add sausage slices and cook until lightly browned on both sides, approximately 4–5 minutes. Remove and set aside.

Step 3: Sauté the Shrimp

In the same pan, add shrimp. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove and set aside with the sausage.

Step 4: Add Broccoli and Aromatics

Add a splash of olive oil, then toss in broccoli and garlic. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until broccoli is tender-crisp. Optional: sprinkle red pepper flakes for extra flavor.

Step 5: Create the Honey Garlic Sauce

Mix honey, soy sauce, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Pour over the broccoli, stir, and allow it to caramelize slightly for 1–2 minutes.

Step 6: Combine and Serve

Return shrimp and sausage to the pan. Toss to coat evenly in the sauce. Serve immediately while warm, garnished with a drizzle of lemon juice for freshness.

Notes

Use fresh or thawed shrimp for the best texture; devein and peel before cooking.
Pre-cooked sausage works well, but raw sausage should be fully cooked before combining with other ingredients.
Broccoli can be steamed or sautéed until just tender to maintain crispness.
Adjust the honey-garlic sauce to taste — add more honey for sweetness or extra garlic for a bolder flavor.
Serve over rice, quinoa, or noodles for a complete meal.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; reheat gently in a skillet.
Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions for extra color and flavor.
