Quick Facts
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled, deveined, tails removed12
- 8 ounces smoked sausage, sliced into ½-inch pieces34
- 2 cups broccoli florets3
- ⅓ cup honey1
- ⅓ cup low-sodium soy sauce12
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice13
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced1
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)12
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided1
- Cooked white rice, for serving1
- Parsley, chopped for garnish (optional)13
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic, and red pepper flakes (if using)12.
- Place the shrimp in a large zip-top bag and pour in ⅓ of the sauce. Reserve the rest of the sauce for later. Seal the bag, removing as much air as possible. Massage the shrimp gently to coat them evenly. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, up to 2 hours12.
- When ready, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the broccoli florets and cook, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer the cooked broccoli to a plate and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm1.
- Add the remaining olive oil to the same skillet. Once hot, add the sausage and heat, turning occasionally, until browned on both sides, about 4-5 minutes13.
- Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook until pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side3.
- Pour the reserved sauce over the shrimp and sausage. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce has thickened slightly, about 2-3 minutes2.
- Add the broccoli back to the skillet and toss to combine2.
- Serve over white rice and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired13.
Serving Suggestions
