Step-by-Step Instructions
Now that you have everything ready, let’s dive into the process of making this delicious dish!
1. Prepare the Honey Garlic Sauce
Start by making the sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and red pepper flakes (if using). Set the sauce aside for later.
2. Cook the Sausage
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced sausage to the pan and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the sausage is browned and cooked through. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking. Once cooked, remove the sausage from the pan and set it aside.
3. Sauté the Broccoli
In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the broccoli florets and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until they are tender yet still crisp. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If you’re using frozen broccoli, just cook until heated through. Remove the broccoli from the pan and set it aside with the sausage.
4. Cook the Shrimp
Add the shrimp to the skillet, and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp, as they can become rubbery.
5. Combine Everything
Once the shrimp is cooked, return the sausage and broccoli to the skillet. Pour the prepared honey garlic sauce over the shrimp, sausage, and broccoli. Toss everything together, making sure the sauce evenly coats all the ingredients. Let the mixture simmer for 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat everything beautifully.
6. Serve and Enjoy
Serve the Honey Garlic Shrimp, Sausage & Broccoli hot. You can enjoy it on its own or serve it over a bed of rice, quinoa, or pasta for a more filling meal. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro, if desired.
Tips for Perfect Honey Garlic Shrimp, Sausage & Broccoli
- Customizable: Feel free to swap out the sausage for chicken, turkey, or even tofu for a different flavor profile. You can also add other vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, or snap peas to suit your taste.
- Make It Spicy: For a spicier kick, add more red pepper flakes or a dash of sriracha to the sauce.
- Meal Prep: This recipe is great for meal prep. Simply store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop for an easy lunch or dinner.
- Use Fresh Broccoli: Fresh broccoli works best in this dish, as it holds up better in the pan and adds a nice crunch to the meal. However, frozen broccoli will work in a pinch.
