Cuisine: Asian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 lb smoked sausage, sliced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp ginger, minced
- Sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by washing and chopping: peel and devein shrimp, slice smoked sausage into 1/2-inch rounds, mince garlic and ginger, and cut broccoli into bite-sized florets.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and ginger to create the marinade sauce. Set aside.
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add sliced smoked sausage and cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly browned and edges are crispy.
- Add broccoli florets to the skillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they become bright green and slightly tender but still crisp.
- Push sausage and broccoli to one side of the skillet, then add shrimp to the empty space. Cook shrimp for 1-2 minutes on each side until they turn pink and become opaque.
- Pour the prepared honey-garlic sauce over the entire skillet, ensuring shrimp, sausage, and broccoli are evenly coated. Stir and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.
- Remove from heat and sprinkle sesame seeds over the dish for garnish and added texture.
- Serve hot, ideally over steamed rice or with your preferred side dish. Enjoy the sweet, savory, and garlicky flavors of this quick and delicious meal.
Tips
- For maximum flavor, marinate the shrimp in the honey-garlic sauce for 10-15 minutes before cooking if time allows.
- Use high heat to get a nice sear on the sausage and create those delicious crispy edges.
- Don't overcook the shrimp—they should be pink and just opaque to remain tender and juicy.
- For extra depth of flavor, consider adding a splash of rice vinegar or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix a teaspoon of cornstarch with the sauce before adding it to the skillet.
- Choose large, fresh shrimp for the best texture and flavor.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the dish at its peak temperature and crispiness.
