🛍️ Ingredients
1 lb large shrimp, peeled + deveined
8 oz smoked turkey sausage, sliced
2 cups broccoli florets
4 garlic cloves, minced
¼ cup honey
¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
1 tbsp olive oil

👨🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Whisk the Sauce
In a bowl, mix honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes. Set aside for later.
2️⃣ Brown the Sausage
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add turkey sausage and sear for 4–5 minutes until golden and slightly crispy. Remove and set aside.
3️⃣ Sauté the Shrimp
In the same pan, add shrimp. Cook 2–3 minutes per side, until pink and opaque. Remove and keep warm.
4️⃣ Cook the Broccoli
Add broccoli to the skillet and sauté 4–5 minutes until tender-crisp. Add a splash of water and cover briefly to steam, if needed.
5️⃣ Bring It All Together
Return sausage and shrimp to the pan. Pour in the honey garlic sauce and stir everything to coat well.
6️⃣ Simmer & Glaze
Let it cook 2–3 more minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and clings to each bite.
7️⃣ Serve It Up
Spoon over rice or quinoa and garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro for a pop of green.
✨ Pro Tips
- Don’t overcook the shrimp — pull them as soon as they turn pink.
- Want extra heat? A pinch of cayenne or chili oil does the trick.
- For meal prep, divide into containers with rice and store for easy lunches.
- Add bell peppers or snap peas if you want more veggies in the mix.
❄️ Storage & Reheating
Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Reheat: Gently warm in a skillet or microwave until hot.
Freezer: Freeze in portions (best without rice for texture). Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
❓ FAQs
Q: Can I swap shrimp for chicken?
Absolutely! Boneless chicken thighs or breast work great — just cook a little longer.
Q: Is it spicy?
Only if you add the red pepper flakes! Leave them out for a mild version.
Q: Can I use frozen shrimp?
Yes — just thaw and pat dry before cooking for the best texture.
Q: What kind of sausage should I use?
Smoked turkey sausage gives great flavor without the heaviness of pork. Andouille or chicken sausage also work well.
