Ingredients
Scale
Protein
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 8 ounces sausage (Italian or chicken), sliced
Vegetables
- 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
Sauce and Seasonings
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
For Cooking
- Olive oil for cooking
Garnish
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Marinate the shrimp: In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, minced garlic, and half of the honey. Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the marinade and let it sit for 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Cook the sausage: Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced sausage and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until the pieces are browned and cooked through.
- Stir-fry broccoli: Add the fresh broccoli florets to the skillet with the sausage. Stir-fry them together for about 3 to 4 minutes until the broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp, maintaining a slight crunch.
- Add shrimp: Stir in the marinated shrimp along with any remaining marinade from the bowl. Cook the shrimp until they turn pink and opaque, about 3 to 4 minutes, ensuring they are fully cooked but tender.
- Finish with glaze: Drizzle the remaining honey over the skillet mixture. Stir well to coat all ingredients evenly with the sweet glaze. Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute Italian sausage for chicken sausage if preferred or use a vegetarian sausage alternative for a different twist.
- Make sure not to overcook the shrimp to keep them tender and juicy.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce to reduce salt content if desired.
- Serve this dish over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
- Fresh parsley adds a nice freshness and color contrast but can be omitted if unavailable.
