Let’s Make it Together
Prep Your Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients. Peel and devein the shrimp while cutting your sausage into bite-sized pieces. Chop broccoli into florets—aim for uniform size so they cook evenly.
Make the Honey Garlic Sauce: In a small bowl, mix honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and lemon juice until well combined. Set this luscious mixture aside; it’ll be the superstar of our dish.
Cook the Sausage: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped sausage and cook until browned and crispy—about 5-7 minutes. Don’t rush this step; those crispy bits add fantastic flavor.
Add Garlic and Broccoli: Toss in minced garlic with your sautéed sausage until fragrant—about 30 seconds. Then add broccoli florets and stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until they turn bright green but still crunchy.
Add Shrimp and Sauce: Finally, throw in the shrimp along with your prepared honey garlic sauce. Stir everything together until the shrimp turn pink and opaque—about 3-5 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when that divine aroma fills your kitchen!
Serve Hot!: Remove from heat and serve immediately over rice or noodles if desired. Garnish with sesame seeds or green onions for added flair! Enjoy every last bite while basking in the glory of your culinary triumph!
