Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 pound (450 grams) large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 pound (450 grams) sausage, sliced
Vegetables:
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Sauce and Seasonings:
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Craft a vibrant sauce by whisking honey, soy sauce, and finely chopped garlic in a compact mixing vessel. Reserve the zesty blend for later use.
- Ignite a large skillet with olive oil over moderate heat. Dispatch sausage segments, searing until golden and crisp around edges, approximately 5-7 minutes. Extract and park sausage momentarily.
- Utilize the same skillet for transforming shrimp. Sauté until shellfish turn rosy and translucent, roughly 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer cooked shrimp alongside sausage.
- Introduce broccoli florets into the heated pan, cultivating a tender-crisp texture through 4-5 minutes of careful cooking.
- Reunite sausage and shrimp within the skillet. Cascade prepared honey garlic sauce, ensuring thorough coating through gentle stirring. Allow ingredients to meld for 2 minutes.
- For enhanced sauce consistency, whisk cornstarch with water creating a smooth slurry. Integrate into the skillet, allowing sauce to thicken during 1-2 minutes of additional cooking.
- Elevate presentation by scattering sesame seeds and delicate green onion slivers. Serve immediately while ingredients radiate warmth and flavor.
Notes
- Customize spice levels by adding red pepper flakes or sriracha for those who enjoy heat.
- Select fresh, high-quality shrimp with firm texture to ensure maximum flavor and prevent rubbery consistency.
- Reduce sodium by using low-sodium soy sauce and controlling salt content in the sauce.
- Quick-cooking technique helps maintain shrimp’s delicate texture, avoiding overcooking which can make them tough and chewy.
