Ingredients
Scale
Protein
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 8 oz smoked sausage, sliced into ½-inch rounds
Vegetables
- 2 cups broccoli florets
Sauce
- ⅓ cup honey
- ⅓ cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Cooking
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes. Reserve two-thirds of the sauce for later use.
- Marinate the Shrimp: Place the shrimp in a zip-top bag and pour in one-third of the sauce. Seal the bag, removing as much air as possible, and massage to coat the shrimp evenly. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
- Cook the Broccoli: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the broccoli florets and sauté for about 5 minutes until tender-crisp. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook the Sausage: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced sausage and cook for 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on both sides. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook the Shrimp: Add the marinated shrimp to the skillet, discarding the marinade. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Simmer the Sauce: Pour the reserved sauce into the skillet and bring to a simmer. Cook for 3-5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Combine and Serve: Return the cooked broccoli, sausage, and shrimp to the skillet. Toss everything together until well-coated with the sauce. Serve over cooked white rice if desired.
