Honey Garlic Shrimp, Sausage & Broccoli

Ingredients:

1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined

8 oz smoked sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch pieces

2 cups broccoli florets

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium preferred)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

Salt and pepper to taste

Cooked rice or quinoa for serving

Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes (if using). Set aside.

Cook the sausage: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced sausage and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned on both sides. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.

Cook the shrimp: In the same skillet, add the shrimp. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside with the sausage.

Cook the broccoli: Add the broccoli florets to the skillet, and sauté for about 4-5 minutes until they are tender-crisp. You can add a splash of water to the skillet to help steam the broccoli if needed.

Combine and cook: Return the sausage and shrimp to the skillet with the broccoli. Pour the honey garlic sauce over the mixture and stir to coat everything evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and coat the ingredients.

Serve: Serve the honey garlic shrimp, sausage, and broccoli over cooked rice or quinoa. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro if desired. Enjoy your flavorful and hearty meal!

This dish is quick, easy, and perfect for a busy weeknight dinner. The combination of sweet and savory flavors from the honey garlic sauce pairs wonderfully with the shrimp, sausage, and broccoli.
