Equipment
- Large skillet.
- Spatula
- Tongs
Ingredients
- 1 lb large shrimp peeled and deveined
- 8 oz smoked sausage sliced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 3 tbsp honey for that irresistible caramelization
- 3 cloves garlic minced (adds robust flavor)
- 1/4 cup soy sauce deepens the umami taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil for sautéing
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter adds richness
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes optional, for heat
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice optional, for brightness
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Peel and devein the shrimp, slice the sausage, and cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets. Mince the garlic and set everything aside.
- Roast the Broccoli: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the broccoli with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread it evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes until slightly crispy and caramelized.
- Cook the Sausage & Shrimp: While the broccoli is roasting, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced sausage and cook for 3-4 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside. In the same skillet, add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook. Remove from the skillet and set aside with the sausage.
- Make the Honey Garlic Sauce: Reduce heat to medium and add butter to the skillet. Once melted, add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in honey, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Combine Everything: Return the sausage, shrimp, and roasted broccoli to the skillet, tossing everything together until well coated in the honey garlic sauce. Let it cook for another 2 minutes to heat everything through.
- Serve & Enjoy: Plate your Honey Garlic Shrimp Roasted Broccoli hot. Serve over steamed rice, noodles, or enjoy on its own for a low-carb option. Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions for extra flavor.
Notes
- Use Fresh Shrimp: Fresh or properly thawed shrimp work best for optimal texture.
- Roast the Broccoli: Roasting enhances the natural sweetness and keeps it slightly crispy.
- Adjust the Sweetness: Add more or less honey depending on your preference.
