- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 8 oz smoked sausage, sliced into rounds
Vegetables
- 2 cups broccoli florets
Sauces and Oils
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Seasonings
- Salt and pepper to taste
Optional

Instructions
- Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, low-sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, and crushed red pepper flakes if using. Set this flavorful honey garlic sauce aside.
- Cook the sausage: Heat olive oil and sesame oil together in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced smoked sausage and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until it becomes browned and slightly crisp on the edges.
- Stir-fry the broccoli: Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and stir-fry with the sausage for 4 to 5 minutes, until the broccoli is tender yet still crisp and vibrant green.
- Cook the shrimp: Push the sausage and broccoli to one side of the skillet. Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the empty side and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.
- Add the sauce and combine: Pour the prepared honey garlic sauce over the sausage, broccoli, and shrimp in the skillet. Toss everything together to coat all ingredients evenly.
- Finish cooking: Let the mixture cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and the flavors to meld. Season the dish with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve: Serve hot over cooked rice if desired for a complete meal.
Notes
- For extra flavor, marinate the shrimp in half of the honey garlic sauce for 15 minutes before cooking.
- You can substitute the broccoli with snap peas or bell peppers to add variety and different textures.
