Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 1 pound (1 lb) large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 8 ounces (8 oz) smoked sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
Vegetables:
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
Seasonings and Sauces:
- 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
Serving Suggestions:
- Cooked rice or quinoa
- Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Craft a zesty sauce by vigorously whisking honey, soy sauce, crushed garlic, bright lemon juice, and optional fiery red pepper flakes in a compact mixing vessel. Reserve the vibrant mixture for later.
- Activate a spacious skillet with olive oil over medium-high thermal intensity. Introduce sausage medallions, allowing them to caramelize and transform into golden-brown treasures within 4-5 minutes, rotating periodically for uniform searing. Transfer the crispy morsels to a temporary holding zone.
- Utilize the identical skillet’s residual flavors to embrace succulent shrimp. Season with precise salt and pepper measurements. Sizzle each side for approximately 2-3 minutes until they adopt a blush-pink translucence. Extract and reunite with previously cooked sausage.
- Transform the skillet into a verdant landscape by introducing broccoli florets. Choreograph a swift sauté lasting 4-5 minutes, ensuring tender-crisp texture. Strategically introduce a water splash if additional steaming becomes necessary.
- Orchestrate a harmonious reunion by returning sausage and shrimp into the skillet’s domain. Cascade the prepared honey garlic elixir, thoroughly coating each ingredient. Allow 2-3 minutes of gentle simmering to thicken the sauce’s consistency.
- Present the culinary composition atop a bed of fluffy rice or quinoa. Optional herbaceous garnish of parsley or cilantro elevates the visual and aromatic experience. Savor immediately.
Notes
- Add extra honey and red pepper flakes for a spicier, sweeter kick that elevates the flavor profile.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce to control salt intake without compromising the delicious sauce taste.
- Swap protein options by replacing shrimp with chicken or tofu for a versatile meal that suits different dietary preferences.
- Allow ingredients to reach room temperature before cooking to ensure even heat distribution and optimal texture for each component.
