Ingredients

• 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 6 oz smoked sausage, sliced into rounds
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/4 cup honey
• 3 tbsp soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for a spicy kick)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Cooked rice or noodles (optional, for serving)

Instructions

1. Cook the Broccoli:
   • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the broccoli florets and sauté for 4-5 minutes until tender but still crisp. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
2. Cook the Sausage:
   • In the same skillet, add the sliced sausage and cook over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside with the broccoli.
3. Cook the Shrimp:
   • Add the remaining olive oil to the skillet. Season the shrimp with a pinch of salt and pepper, then cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
4. Make the Honey Garlic Sauce:
   • Reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes (if using). Simmer for 1-2 minutes until slightly thickened.
5. Combine Everything:
   • Return the shrimp, sausage, and broccoli to the skillet. Toss everything in the honey garlic sauce until well coated. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to warm through.
6. Serve:
   • Serve immediately over cooked rice or noodles, if desired.
