Honey garlic shrimp sausage and broccoli is one of those go-to skillet meals that feels just a little bit special even though it comes together in a flash. You get all the sweet sticky flavor of a takeout favorite packed with protein and crisp broccoli for a weeknight dinner that never gets old.
The first time I made this I was just trying to use up sausage in the fridge but my family loved it so much they now ask for it anytime shrimp goes on sale. Sometimes I throw in extra veggies and everyone still clears their plate.
Ingredients
- Large shrimp: cleaned and deveined for sweet delicate flavor and best texture fresh or high quality frozen work
- Smoked sausage: sliced so every bite gets a bit of smoky richness look for sausage with good spice and not too much filler
- Broccoli florets: for vibrant color and a crisp tender bite pick crowns that are dark green without yellowing
- Garlic: fresh minced for punchy aroma and that signature warmth
- Honey: for sweetness try to use real honey for the best flavor it thickens the sauce beautifully
- Soy sauce: brings salty depth choose low sodium to balance the sauce
- Olive oil: for browning and to swirl the flavors around use extra virgin for peak taste
- Lemon juice: brightens the dish with just enough acidity fresh squeezed makes a difference
- Red pepper flakes: optional but add a gentle kick if you like heat
- Salt and pepper: ground fresh to finish the proteins perfectly
- Rice or quinoa: as a fluffy base for soaking up the sauce long grain white rice or nutty quinoa are both delicious
- Fresh parsley or cilantro: for a pop of color and fresh finish choose dark green vibrant bunches
