Ingredients
Scale
Seafood and Meat
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 8 oz smoked sausage, sliced
Vegetables
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Sauce and Seasonings
- 3 tbsp honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare ingredients: Peel and devein the shrimp, slice the smoked sausage into rounds, cut the broccoli into florets, and mince the garlic cloves to have all components ready for cooking.
- Roast broccoli: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the broccoli florets with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for about 15 minutes until the broccoli is tender and slightly crispy on the edges.
- Cook sausage: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced smoked sausage and cook for 3-4 minutes until browned and slightly crisp. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook shrimp: In the same skillet, add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and are cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside with the sausage.
- Make sauce: Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the unsalted butter to the skillet. Once melted, sauté the minced garlic for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the honey and soy sauce, then simmer the mixture for 2-3 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly into a glaze.
- Combine: Return the cooked shrimp, sausage, and roasted broccoli to the skillet with the sauce. Toss everything together to coat with the honey garlic glaze, and heat through for an additional 2 minutes.
- Serve: Serve the honey garlic shrimp and sausage with roasted broccoli hot, either on its own or over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
