Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
Begin by gathering all the ingredients required for the recipe. Ensure that the shrimp is peeled and deveined, the sausage is sliced, and the broccoli is cut into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2: Cook the Sausage
In a large skillet, add a splash of oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the sliced sausage. Cook until the sausage turns golden brown and crispy, which usually takes about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Step 3: Add the Broccoli
Once the sausage is cooked, add the broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir to combine, and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the broccoli is bright green and tender but still crisp.
Step 4: Incorporate the Shrimp
Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.
Step 5: Mix in the Honey Garlic Sauce
Pour the honey garlic sauce over the shrimp, sausage, and broccoli mixture. Stir well to coat all the ingredients in the sauce. Continue cooking for another 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Step 6: Serve the Dish
Once everything is well combined and heated through, remove the skillet from the heat. Serve the honey garlic shrimp, sausage, and broccoli hot, garnished with sesame seeds or green onions if desired.
Notes
Note 1: Adjusting Spiciness
Feel free to add chili flakes or sriracha to the honey garlic sauce if you prefer a spicier kick in the dish.
Note 2: Alternative Proteins
If shrimp is not available, you can substitute it with other proteins such as chicken or tofu.
Note 3: Sauce Consistency
If you like a thicker sauce, consider mixing a cornstarch slurry with water and adding it to the skillet during the sauce step to thicken it up.
Note 4: Meal Prep
This dish is great for meal prep. You can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave before serving.
