Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 1 lb (450g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 8 oz (225g) smoked sausage, sliced
Vegetables:
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated (optional, for extra flavor)
Sauce and Seasoning:
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- ¼ cup (60 milliliters) soy sauce
- ¼ cup (85 grams) honey
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for spice)
Instructions
- Whisk together soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes in a small mixing bowl to create a vibrant, aromatic sauce. Let the flavors meld while preparing other ingredients.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high temperature and add half the vegetable oil. Sear sliced sausage until golden and crispy, developing rich caramelized edges.
- Introduce broccoli florets to the sizzling skillet, stirring frequently to ensure even cooking. Cook until the vegetable turns bright green and becomes slightly tender with a slight crunch.
- Transfer sausage and broccoli to a separate plate, maintaining their temperature and preserving the skillet’s flavorful remnants.
- Add remaining oil to the same skillet and quickly sauté shrimp. Cook each side until they transform into a beautiful pink color and appear translucent with delicate curled edges.
- Reunite sausage and broccoli with the perfectly cooked shrimp in the skillet. Pour the prepared honey garlic sauce over the ingredients, gently tossing to ensure comprehensive coating.
- Allow the mixture to simmer, enabling the sauce to thicken and intensify, creating a glossy glaze that clings to each ingredient.
- Plate over steamed rice or noodles, garnishing with thinly sliced green onions or a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds for an elegant finishing touch.
Notes
- Swap protein options easily by using chicken, tofu, or plant-based sausage for varied dietary needs.
- Reduce sodium by using low-sodium soy sauce and controlling additional salt during cooking.
- Enhance spice levels by adjusting red pepper flakes or adding fresh chili for more heat.
- Quick-cooking technique ensures shrimp stays tender and doesn’t become rubbery by avoiding overcooking.
