Ingredients
- 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 8 ounce sausage, sliced
- 2 cup broccoli florets
- 3 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional garnish: fresh parsley, lemon wedges
Instructions
1. Start by peeling and deveining the shrimp, leaving the tails on if desired. Slice the sausage and cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and cook the sausage slices until browned and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the sausage from the pan and set it aside.
3. In the same skillet, add another 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the broccoli florets for 5-6 minutes until they’re tender-crisp. Season the broccoli with salt and pepper, then remove it from the pan and set it aside.
4. Next, add the shrimp to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until they’re pink and opaque. Once cooked, remove the shrimp from the pan and set them aside.
5. In a small saucepan, melt the 3 tablespoon of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the garlic is fragrant and golden.
6. Return the cooked sausage, broccoli, and shrimp to the skillet. Pour the garlic butter sauce over the ingredients and toss everything together to coat evenly.
7. Serve the Garlic Butter Shrimp, Sausage, and Broccoli immediately, garnished with fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice if desired. Savor the irresistible flavors and enjoy this quick, yet delicious meal.
Notes
For a little extra kick, try adding a sprinkle of red pepper flakes or a dash of smoked paprika to the garlic butter sauce. You can also experiment with different types of sausage, such as Italian or andouille, to change up the flavor profile. If you’re looking to make this dish dairy-free, simply substitute the butter with a plant-based alternative like olive oil or coconut oil.
To add more veggies, consider tossing in sliced bell peppers, zucchini, or asparagus. And for a heartier meal, serve the Garlic Butter Shrimp, Sausage, and Broccoli over a bed of rice, quinoa, or even pasta.
