Ah, that sounds like a delicious one-pan or stir-fry-style meal! Sweet, savory, garlicky shrimp paired with sausage and crisp-tender broccoli—super flavorful and quick to make. Here’s a recipe for it:
Honey Garlic Shrimp, Sausage, and Broccoli
Ingredients (Serves 2–3)
- 1 lb (450 g) shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2–3 sausages (Andouille, smoked, or your favorite), sliced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (or butter)
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Optional: red pepper flakes for heat
- Optional garnish: sesame seeds, chopped green onions
Instructions
- Cook the sausage
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
- Add sausage slices and cook 4–5 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.
- Cook the broccoli
- In the same pan, add a little oil if needed.
- Add broccoli florets and a splash of water. Cover for 2–3 minutes until bright green and slightly tender but still crisp. Remove and set aside.
- Cook the shrimp
- Add shrimp to the pan. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Cook 1–2 minutes per side until pink and opaque.
- Make the honey garlic sauce
- Reduce heat slightly, add garlic to the pan, and sauté 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Stir in honey and soy sauce. Cook 1–2 minutes until sauce slightly thickens.
- Combine everything
- Return sausage and broccoli to the pan. Toss to coat everything evenly in the honey garlic sauce.
- Taste and adjust seasoning. Add red pepper flakes if you want heat.
- Serve
- Serve over rice, quinoa, or noodles.
- Garnish with sesame seeds or green onions if desired.
💡 Tips:
- Don’t overcook shrimp—they cook very quickly.
- You can prep everything ahead (cut sausage, trim broccoli, peel shrimp) to make cooking under 15 minutes.
- For extra flavor, add a squeeze of fresh lemon or lime at the end.
If you want, I can give a version with a sticky glaze that’s more like a restaurant-style honey garlic stir-fry, where the sauce caramelizes perfectly on the shrimp and sausage.
Do you want me to do that?
