🍤 Honey Garlic Shrimp, Sausage & Broccoli

Ingredients (Serves 4)

• 1 lb (450 g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 8 oz (225 g) smoked sausage or kielbasa, sliced into ½-inch rounds
• 3 cups broccoli florets
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 tbsp honey
• 2 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp sesame oil (optional, for flavor)
• Salt & pepper, to taste
• Optional garnish: sesame seeds, chopped green onions, red pepper flakes

Instructions

1. Cook the Sausage & Broccoli

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
2. Add sausage slices and cook until lightly browned, 3–4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add broccoli florets and a splash of water. Cover and steam 3–4 minutes until bright green and slightly tender. Remove and set aside with the sausage.

2. Cook the Shrimp

1. Add a little more oil to the skillet if needed.
2. Add shrimp, season with salt and pepper, and cook 1–2 minutes per side until pink and opaque.
3. Add minced garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.

3. Make the Honey Garlic Sauce

1. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, and sesame oil.
2. Pour sauce over shrimp and garlic. Toss to coat evenly and cook another 1–2 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.

4. Combine Everything

1. Return sausage and broccoli to the skillet.
2. Toss everything together until well coated in the sauce.
3. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

5. Serve

• Serve over rice, quinoa, or noodles.
• Garnish with sesame seeds, chopped green onions, or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for heat.

🌟 Tips & Variations

• Vegetables: Swap broccoli for bell peppers, snap peas, or zucchini.
• Spicy twist: Add sriracha, chili flakes, or a drizzle of hot honey.
• Make it sheet-pan: Roast sausage, broccoli, and shrimp with sauce on a sheet pan at 400°F (200°C) for 12–15 minutes.
• Make-ahead: Prep sauce in advance; cook everything fresh for 15 minutes.

If you want, I can also give a low-carb or keto-friendly version that swaps honey for a sugar-free alternative.
