Ingredients
Scale
Seafood and Meat
- 1 lb shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 8 oz chicken or turkey sausage (sliced)
Vegetables
- 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
Sauce and Seasoning
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tsp fresh ginger (grated)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and if the shrimp is frozen, make sure to thaw it completely before cooking to ensure even cooking.
- Cook Sausage: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced sausage and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Once browned, remove sausage from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté Broccoli: Add another tablespoon of olive oil to the same skillet if needed. Add the broccoli florets and sauté for approximately 3 minutes, until they turn bright green but remain crisp.
- Cook Shrimp and Garlic: Add the shrimp and minced garlic to the skillet with the broccoli. Cook for about 2 minutes per side or until the shrimp turns pink and opaque. Then stir in the grated fresh ginger.
- Add Sauce: Pour the honey and low-sodium soy sauce over the shrimp, broccoli, and garlic mixture. Stir gently to combine all ingredients. Allow the mixture to simmer for a couple of minutes so that everything is well-coated and the flavors meld.
- Combine and Serve: Return the cooked sausage to the skillet. Mix everything well and cook for an additional minute to warm through. Serve hot immediately.

- You can substitute chicken or turkey sausage with your preferred sausage type or use a vegetarian sausage to adapt the recipe.
