Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 pound smoked sausage (such as kielbasa), sliced into rounds
Vegetables:
- 2 cups broccoli florets
Seasonings and Sauces:
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Red pepper flakes (optional)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Whisk together honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic in a small mixing bowl, creating a glossy, aromatic sauce. Set the mixture aside for later use.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium temperature. Add sliced sausage and cook for 5-7 minutes, rotating occasionally to ensure even browning and thorough heating. Transfer browned sausage to a separate plate.
- In the same skillet, introduce additional olive oil if needed. Toss broccoli florets into the pan, sautéing for 4-5 minutes until they transform into a vibrant green color and reach a tender consistency. Optional: splash water to generate light steam. Remove broccoli and place alongside the sausage.
- Replenish skillet with remaining olive oil. Introduce shrimp, seasoning with salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side until shrimp turn pink and appear translucent.
- Reunite sausage and broccoli with the cooked shrimp in the skillet. Cascade the prepared honey garlic sauce over the ingredients, gently tossing to ensure complete coating. Allow mixture to heat thoroughly for an additional 1-2 minutes, melding flavors and temperatures.
Notes
- Customize heat levels by adjusting red pepper flakes to suit personal spice preferences.
- Choose lower sodium soy sauce for a healthier version of the sauce.
- Cook ingredients separately to maintain individual textures and prevent overcrowding in the skillet.
- Use pre-cooked sausage to reduce overall cooking time and simplify meal preparation.
