Scale
Main Protein Ingredients:
- 1 lb (454 grams) large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 8 oz (226 grams) smoked sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
Vegetable Ingredients:
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
Sauce and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Serving Suggestion:
- Cooked rice or quinoa
- Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Craft a zesty harmony of proteins and vegetables with this vibrant one-pan culinary creation.
- Whisk together a luxurious sauce featuring honey, soy sauce, aromatic garlic, bright lemon juice, and optional red pepper flakes in a small mixing vessel.
- Elevate a large skillet with olive oil over medium-high heat, then introduce sliced sausage and caramelize for 4-5 minutes, rotating periodically until golden-brown edges emerge.
- Transfer sausage to a temporary plate, maintaining the flavor-rich skillet for subsequent ingredients.
- Season pristine shrimp with salt and pepper, then gently sauté for 2-3 minutes per side until they transform into a delicate pink hue and become translucent.
- Relocate shrimp alongside the reserved sausage, preserving their succulence.
- Introduce broccoli florets to the seasoned skillet, creating tender-crisp vegetation through a 4-5 minute sauté, potentially incorporating a splash of water to facilitate steaming.
- Reunite sausage and shrimp with broccoli in the skillet, cascading the previously prepared honey-garlic elixir over the ensemble.
- Gently toss ingredients to ensure comprehensive sauce coverage, allowing flavors to meld and sauce to slightly thicken during a 2-3 minute fusion.
- Present the aromatic medley atop fluffy rice or quinoa, optional herb garnish recommended for visual and flavor enhancement.
Notes
- Swap proteins easily by using chicken, tofu, or plant-based alternatives for diverse dietary needs.
- Reduce sodium by selecting low-sodium soy sauce and controlling added salt during cooking.
- Enhance heat levels by adjusting red pepper flakes or incorporating fresh chili peppers for spice lovers.
- Optimize cooking timing to prevent overcooking shrimp, which can become rubbery and tough when exposed to high heat for too long.
