Ingredients
Scale
Proteins
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 pound sausage (smoked, andouille, or your choice), sliced
Vegetables
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
Sauce & Seasoning
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish (optional)
- Sesame seeds
- Chopped green onions
Instructions
- Cook the Sausage: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced sausage and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté the Garlic: In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the minced garlic. Cook for about 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant but not burnt.
- Cook the Broccoli: Add the broccoli florets to the skillet with the garlic. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is slightly tender but still crisp.
- Combine Everything: Return the cooked sausage to the skillet. Add the peeled and deveined shrimp, honey, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Stir well to combine and cook until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through, about 3-4 minutes.
- Thicken the Sauce (Optional): If a thicker sauce is desired, mix the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water to create a slurry and stir it into the skillet. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the sauce has thickened.
- Season & Serve: Season the dish with salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes if using. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- You can substitute sausage variety to suit your taste, such as Italian or chorizo.
- For a gluten-free version, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
- If you prefer more heat, increase the crushed red pepper flakes.
- Cornstarch is optional and only needed if you want a thicker sauce.
- Serve over rice or noodles for a more filling meal.
