Ingredients
Scale
- ⅓ cup honey
- ⅓ cup soy sauce (non-alcoholic alternative like tamarind-based soy sauce)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 pound large shrimp (peeled, deveined, tails removed)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (divided for cooking)
- 1 head broccoli (cut into florets)
- 13 ounces beef sausage (sliced into ½-inch rounds)
- For Serving and Garnish: Cooked white rice, Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Make the sauce: Whisk together the honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic, and red pepper flakes in a medium bowl. It’s sweet, tangy, and just the right amount of spicy.
- Marinate the shrimp: Pour about a third of the sauce into a zip-top bag with the shrimp. Seal the bag, massage the shrimp gently to coat, and let it marinate in the fridge for at least 20 minutes (or up to 2 hours). Pro tip: Don’t skip this step—the shrimp absorb the flavors beautifully!
- Cook the broccoli: Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Toss in the broccoli florets and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet crisp. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.
- Brown the sausage: Add the remaining olive oil to the skillet and toss in the sausage slices. Let them sear until golden and caramelized, flipping occasionally. This step is where the sausage’s flavor really shines.
- Cook the shrimp: Add the marinated shrimp to the skillet with the sausage. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side until they’re pink and opaque.
- Simmer the sauce: Pour the reserved sauce into the skillet and let it simmer for 3-5 minutes. This thickens the sauce and brings all the flavors together.
- Combine and serve: Toss the cooked broccoli back into the skillet, mixing everything until well-coated in the glossy sauce. Serve over white rice and garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
Notes
If you have leftovers (which is rare in my house!), store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, add the stir-fry to a skillet over medium heat with a splash of water to loosen the sauce. Stir gently until warmed through. Avoid microwaving the shrimp for too long, as it can make them rubbery.
