🍤 Honey Garlic Shrimp, Sausage & Broccoli

🕒 Prep Time: 15 min | Cook Time: 15 min | Serves: 3–4

🍴 Ingredients:

For the Protein & Veggies:

• ½ lb (225g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined

• 6 oz (170g) smoked sausage (andouille or kielbasa), sliced into coins

• 2 cups broccoli florets (fresh or thawed frozen)

• 1 tbsp olive oil or sesame oil

• Salt & pepper to taste

For the Honey Garlic Sauce:

• ¼ cup honey

• 3 tbsp soy sauce (low sodium if preferred)

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tbsp rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar

• 1 tsp cornstarch + 1 tbsp water (optional, for thickening)

• Optional: ½ tsp chili flakes or sriracha for heat

🔪 Instructions:

1. Blanch or Steam Broccoli (If Needed)
   If using fresh broccoli, steam or blanch in boiling water for 2–3 minutes until bright green and slightly tender. Drain and set aside.

2. Sear the Sausage
   In a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, add a splash of oil and sauté sausage slices until browned on both sides (about 4–5 minutes). Remove and set aside.

3. Cook the Shrimp
   In the same pan, add a bit more oil if needed. Season shrimp lightly with salt and pepper. Cook 1–2 minutes per side until pink and just cooked through. Remove and set aside with the sausage.

4. Sauté Broccoli
   Add broccoli to the pan, stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until just tender. If needed, add a splash of water to help it steam.

5. Make the Sauce
   While veggies cook, whisk together honey, soy sauce, garlic, vinegar, and chili flakes. Add to the pan and bring to a simmer.

6. Thicken (Optional)
   If you like a glossy, sticky sauce, stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook 1–2 minutes until thickened.

7. Combine Everything
   Return shrimp and sausage to the pan, toss everything in the sauce until well coated and heated through (1–2 minutes).

🍚 Serving Ideas:

• Serve over steamed rice, cauliflower rice, or noodles.

• Garnish with sesame seeds, sliced green onions, or a squeeze of lime.

🔄 Variations:

• Add bell peppers or snap peas for more color and crunch.

• Swap sausage for chicken, or tofu for a lighter version.

• Make it extra saucy by doubling the sauce ingredients.
