Instructions
1. Prepare the Honey Garlic Sauce: A Sweet and Savory Blend
- Combine Ingredients: In a small bowl, combine the honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes.
- Whisk: Whisk the ingredients together until they are well combined and the sauce is smooth and glossy.
- Reserve Sauce: Set aside two-thirds of the sauce for later use.
2. Marinate the Shrimp: Infusing with Flavor
- Place Shrimp in Bag: Place the peeled and deveined shrimp in a zip-top bag or a bowl.
- Pour Marinade: Pour the remaining one-third of the honey garlic sauce over the shrimp.
- Seal and Refrigerate: Seal the bag (or cover the bowl) and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to allow the shrimp to marinate and absorb the flavors.
- Tip: You can marinate the shrimp for up to 2 hours for a more intense flavor.
3. Cook the Broccoli: Achieving Tender-Crisp Texture
- Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add Broccoli: Add the broccoli florets to the skillet.
- Cook: Cook the broccoli for about 5 minutes, or until it’s tender-crisp, stirring occasionally.
- Tip: You want the broccoli to be slightly softened but still have a bit of a bite to it.
- Remove and Set Aside: Remove the cooked broccoli from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.
4. Cook the Sausage and Shrimp: Searing for Flavor
- Heat Oil: In the same skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Brown Sausage: Add the sliced kielbasa sausage to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it’s browned and slightly crispy.
- Add Shrimp: Add the marinated shrimp (discard the marinade) to the skillet with the sausage.
- Cook Shrimp: Cook the shrimp for 1-2 minutes per side, until they turn pink and opaque.
- Tip: Don’t overcook the shrimp, or they will become rubbery.
5. Combine and Simmer: Bringing it All Together
- Add Reserved Sauce: Pour the reserved two-thirds of the honey garlic sauce into the skillet with the cooked sausage and shrimp.
- Simmer: Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has slightly thickened and the flavors have melded.
- Add Broccoli: Add the cooked broccoli back to the skillet and toss everything together until it’s evenly coated with the sauce.
6. Serve: Garnishing and Enjoying
- Serve over Rice: Serve the Honey Garlic Shrimp With Sausage and Broccoli hot, over a bed of cooked white rice.
- Garnish: Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
