Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled & deveined about 450 g
  • 12-14 oz pre-cooked sausage (Kielbasa or Andouille), sliced 1/4-inch smoky, meaty coins
  • 1 head broccoli, small florets tender-crisp
  • 1 tbsp olive oil for searing
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped (garnish)
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds (garnish)
Honey Garlic Sauce
  • 1/3 cup honey warm 10–15 sec to loosen
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 4-5 cloves garlic, minced aromatic punch
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated (optional) bright warmth
  • 1 tsp sriracha (optional) gentle heat
  • 1 tsp sesame oil toasty finish

Method
 

  1. Whisk the Honey Garlic Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, sriracha (if using), and sesame oil until smooth and glossy. Tip: Warm the honey 10–15 seconds so it dissolves easily.
  2. Sear the Sausage: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add sliced sausage in a single layer; sear 2–3 minutes per side until browned and lightly crisp. Transfer with a slotted spoon, leaving the fat in the pan. Tip: Don’t stir too soon; let the first side develop color.
  3. Char & Steam the Broccoli: To the hot skillet, add broccoli. Cook, tossing occasionally, 4–5 minutes until bright green with some char. Add 2–3 tbsp water, cover, and steam 2 minutes until tender-crisp. Push broccoli to one side of the pan.
  4. Quick-Cook the Shrimp: On the empty side, add shrimp in a single layer. Cook 1–2 minutes per side until just pink and slightly curled. Avoid overcooking—carryover heat will finish them.
  5. Combine & Glaze: Return sausage to the pan. Pour the honey garlic sauce over shrimp, sausage, and broccoli. Stir and simmer 2–3 minutes until the sauce bubbles and thickens, coating everything in a sticky sheen. For extra sauce, splash in 1–2 tbsp water and simmer 30 seconds more.
  6. Garnish & Serve: Kill the heat. Sprinkle with parsley and sesame seeds. Serve straight from the skillet or over rice, noodles, or cauliflower rice.

Notes

Swaps & Tips:
  • Use turkey sausage for a lighter option, or andouille for more heat.
  • Frozen broccoli works—add directly to the hot pan and cook a minute longer before steaming.
  • Gluten-free: use tamari or coconut aminos.
  • Low-sodium: choose reduced-salt sausage and soy sauce.
  • Serving ideas: steamed rice, garlic noodles, or cauliflower rice.
