Honey Garlic Shrimp, Sausage, And Broccoli Recipe

Ingredients

• ⅓ cup honey
• ⅓ cup soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
• ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 pound large shrimp, peeled, deveined, tails removed
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 head broccoli, cut into florets
• 1 ring kielbasa sausage, sliced into ½ inch rounds
• cooked white rice, for serving
• parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

1. Step 1: Whip Up the Marinade
   Begin by gathering your ingredients for the sauce. In a medium-sized bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, and a dash of red pepper flakes. Whisk them together until they form a smooth, fragrant mixture. This sauce brings the sweet and savory flavors that will infuse the shrimp with deliciousness.

2. Step 2: Marinate the Shrimp
   Place your peeled and deveined shrimp into a large zip-top bag. Pour about one-third of the prepared sauce into the bag with the shrimp, ensuring you set aside the remaining sauce for later use. Seal the bag, pressing out as much air as possible, and gently massage the shrimp to ensure they're well-coated. Pop the bag in the refrigerator and let those flavors mingle for at least 20 minutes, or up to 2 hours if you're planning ahead.

3. Step 3: Sauté the Broccoli
   When your shrimp are nearly ready, grab a large skillet and heat up 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Once it’s shimmering, add in the broccoli florets. Stir them occasionally, letting them cook until they reach that perfect tender-crisp stage, which should take about 5 minutes. Transfer the broccoli to a plate and cover it with aluminum foil to keep it warm and cozy until it's needed again.

4. Step 4: Brown the Sausage
   Back to the same skillet! Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Once it's hot, toss in the sliced kielbasa sausage. Let them sizzle, turning occasionally, until they’re beautifully browned on both sides. This should take around 4-5 minutes and will fill your kitchen with a mouthwatering aroma.

5. Step 5: Cook the Shrimp
   Now, it's time for the star of the show. Add those marinated shrimp to the skillet with the sausage. Remember to throw out any leftover marinade in the bag. Cook the shrimp for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Keep an eye on them—shrimp cook quickly and you don’t want them to overcook and become rubbery.

6. Step 6: Simmer the Sauce
   With the shrimp and sausage still in the skillet, pour in the reserved sauce you saved earlier. Bring it all to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 3-5 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld together while the sauce thickens slightly, creating a luscious glaze for your dish.

7. Step 7: Combine and Toss
   It's time to reunite the broccoli with its skillet companions. Add the cooked broccoli back into the pan and toss everything together until every piece is well-coated in that delectable sauce. The green of the broccoli against the shrimp and sausage makes for a colorful feast for the eyes.

8. Step 8: Serve and Enjoy
   Spoon the heavenly mixture over a bed of cooked white rice and give it a final flourish with a sprinkle of chopped parsley for a touch of freshness. Dive into this delightful dish that’s sure to be a hit at your table!

Notes

Cooking up a storm with this delightful dish can be a breeze if you sidestep a few common pitfalls.

First up, the shrimp: overcooking them is a biggie. These little guys cook fast, so keep a close eye on them. They'll turn pink and opaque in just a couple of minutes per side, signaling they're ready.

Then there's the broccoli. It’s easy to go from crisp-tender to mushy. Aim for vibrant green florets with a slight crunch by stirring occasionally and keeping the heat in check.

Don't forget the marinade! It’s tempting to reuse it, but it’s best discarded after marinating the shrimp. Use the reserved sauce for that final burst of flavor.

Lastly, remember to serve it right. A bed of fluffy white rice complements the flavors beautifully, ensuring every bite is a delicious balance.
