Ingredients
Scale
Honey Garlic Shrimp, Sausage, and Broccoli:
Main Protein Ingredients:
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled, deveined, tails removed
- 1 ring kielbasa sausage, sliced into 1/2 inch rounds
Sauce and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Vegetable and Cooking Ingredients:
- 1 head broccoli, cut into florets
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
- cooked white rice, for serving
- parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Craft the marinade by whisking honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes in a medium bowl, creating a flavor-packed liquid.
- Transfer shrimp to a zip-top bag, pour one-third of the marinade, seal tightly, and massage to coat evenly. Refrigerate for 20-120 minutes to enhance flavor absorption.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, add broccoli florets, and cook for 5 minutes until tender yet bright green. Remove and set aside, covering with foil to retain warmth.
- In the same skillet, add remaining olive oil and sear sausage slices until golden brown and crispy, approximately 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally.
- Introduce marinated shrimp to the skillet, discarding used marinade. Cook 1-2 minutes per side until pink and curled, indicating complete cooking.
- Pour reserved marinade into the skillet, simmer for 3-5 minutes to reduce and thicken, creating a glossy sauce that coats the ingredients.
- Reintegrate warm broccoli into the skillet, gently mixing to ensure even sauce distribution and flavor melding.
- Plate over steamed white rice, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve immediately while piping hot.
Notes
- Customize the marinade by adjusting honey and soy sauce ratios for a personalized sweet-savory balance that suits your taste preferences.
- Opt for low-sodium soy sauce and turkey sausage to create a lighter, healthier version of this robust dish without compromising flavor intensity.
- Ensure shrimp are not overcooked by watching for the signature C-shape curl and maintaining medium-high heat to prevent rubbery texture.
- Prep ingredients beforehand to streamline cooking process, reducing overall kitchen time and making this meal perfect for busy weeknight dinners.
