Description
A deliciously quick meal that beautifully marries the sweetness of honey and shrimp with the smoky richness of sausage and the crispness of broccoli.
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 12 ounce smoked sausage, sliced
- 3 cup broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoon chopped parsley
Instructions
1. Cook Sausage: Start by heating 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the sliced sausage and cook until it is nicely browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set it aside for later.
2. Cook Broccoli: In the same skillet, add your broccoli florets. Cook for around 4-5 minutes until they become slightly tender but still crisp, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
3. Season Shrimp: While the broccoli cooks, toss your shrimp with paprika, salt, and black pepper in a separate bowl, ensuring they are evenly coated and ready to pop into the skillet.
4. Cook Shrimp: Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet and increase the heat slightly. Once hot, place the seasoned shrimp in, cooking them for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and are fully cooked. Remove from the skillet.
5. Make Sauce: In the same skillet, stir in the minced garlic and let it cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, add the honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 2 minutes, or until it thickens slightly.
6. Combine Everything: Return the cooked sausage and shrimp to the skillet, tossing everything together until well-coated in the honey garlic sauce. Let it heat through for an additional minute.
7. Garnish & Serve: Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped parsley just before serving. Enjoy your Honey Garlic Shrimp Sausage and Broccoli over rice or on its own!
Notes
Opt for fresh shrimp with a slight ocean scent and bright, crisp broccoli for the most flavorful dish. Store leftovers in airtight containers and refrigerate for up to four days, or freeze for up to three months.
