🛒 Ingredients for Honey Garlic Shrimp, Sausage and Broccoli

Main Ingredients:

• 10 oz large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 5 oz smoked sausage, sliced into rounds (beef, turkey, or chicken sausage all work)
• 2 cups broccoli florets, fresh (or frozen, thawed)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp butter

For the Honey Garlic Sauce:

• 3 tbsp honey
• 2 tbsp soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp cornstarch + 1 tbsp water (optional, for thickening)
• 1/2 tsp chili flakes (optional, for heat)
• Juice of 1/2 lemon (optional but brightens everything!)

🧰 Tools You’ll Need

• Large skillet or wok
• Tongs or spatula
• Small bowl for mixing sauce
• Knife and cutting board
• Measuring spoons

🌟 Ingredient Swaps & Additions

• Veggies: Swap broccoli for snap peas, bell peppers, or asparagus.
• Protein: Use chicken instead of shrimp or double the sausage.
• Low-sugar option: Use a sugar-free honey substitute or reduce honey to 2 tbsp.
• Grains: Serve with jasmine rice, quinoa, or noodles.

🔪 How to Make Honey Garlic Shrimp, Sausage & Broccoli

Step 1: Make the Sauce

In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, garlic, and lemon juice. If you’d like it thicker, mix cornstarch and water separately and set aside to add later.

Step 2: Sauté the Sausage

Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add sliced sausage and cook until browned and crispy on the edges—about 4–5 minutes. Remove and set aside.

Step 3: Cook the Broccoli

In the same pan, add butter and broccoli. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until broccoli is bright green and just tender. Add a splash of water if it starts to stick.

Step 4: Cook the Shrimp

Push the broccoli to one side, and add shrimp to the empty side of the skillet. Cook 1–2 minutes per side, until just pink and opaque.

Step 5: Combine & Sauce

Return sausage to the skillet. Pour the sauce over everything, and toss to coat. Let it simmer for 2–3 minutes. If using, stir in the cornstarch slurry to thicken.

Step 6: Finish & Serve

Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped scallions if desired. Serve hot over rice, noodles, or on its own for a low-carb meal.

🍚 What to Serve With It

• Steamed white or brown rice
• Garlic noodles or lo mein
• Quinoa or cauliflower rice for low-carb
• A crisp Asian-style salad or slaw
• Extra lemon wedges for brightness

🧊 Storage & Reheating

Store: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat: Microwave gently or reheat in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through. Freeze: Not recommended with shrimp—it can get rubbery after thawing.

ℹ️ Behind the Recipe

This dish came from a night of “what’s in the fridge?” and turned into an absolute staple in my rotation. Shrimp, sausage, and broccoli might seem like an unlikely trio, but the combo is unbeatable. The contrast in textures, the way the sauce clings to every bite—I’m kicking myself for not having shot it the first time I made it!
