Honey Garlic Shrimp, Sausage, and Broccoli
🛒 What You’ll Need
- 1 lb Large shrimp (peeled and deveined) 🦐
- 1 lb Smoked sausage or Andouille, sliced into rounds 🌭
- 3 cups Fresh broccoli florets 🥦
- 2 tbsp Olive oil 🫒
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced 🧄
- 1/3 cup Honey 🍯
- 1/4 cup Soy sauce (low sodium) 🥣
- 1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice 🍋
- 1/2 tsp Red pepper flakes (optional for heat!) 🌶️
👩🍳 Instructions
- Prep the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes. Set aside. 🍯🥣🌪️
- Sear the Sausage: Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage rounds and cook until browned and crispy on both sides. Remove and set aside. 🌭🔥
- Steam-Sauté Broccoli: Add the remaining oil and the broccoli to the same skillet with a splash of water. Cover for 2–3 minutes to steam until bright green and tender-crisp. 🥦💨
- Cook the Shrimp: Push the broccoli to the side and add the shrimp to the pan. Cook for 1–2 minutes per side until pink and opaque. 🦐🎯
- The Sticky Glaze: Pour the honey garlic sauce over everything in the skillet. Add the sausage back into the pan. 🍯🌀
- Toss & Caramelize: Toss everything together for 1–2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats every piece in a shiny, sticky glaze. 🌟😋
- Serve: Enjoy it as-is for a low-carb meal, or serve it over a bed of fluffy white rice or quinoa! 🍽️🍚🤤
🔥 Pro Tips:
- Don’t Overcrowd: If your pan is small, cook the shrimp in batches so they sear instead of steaming—this keeps them juicy! 🦐🎯
- Fresh vs. Frozen: You can use frozen broccoli, just make sure to thaw and pat it dry first so the sauce doesn’t get watered down. 🥦💎
