Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 8 oz (225g) smoked sausage, sliced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- ¼ cup (60ml) soy sauce
- ¼ cup (85g) honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated (optional, for extra flavor)
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for spice)
Instructions
- Sauce Preparation: Whisk together soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes in a bowl, allowing flavors to meld while preparing other components.
- Sausage Searing: Ignite a spacious skillet over medium-high heat, introducing vegetable oil. Brown sausage slices until crispy and golden, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Vegetable Integration: Toss broccoli florets into the skillet, sautéing until tender-crisp with strategic stirring to ensure uniform cooking.
- Protein Progression: Slide sausage and broccoli onto a holding plate, then introduce shrimp to the same skillet. Cook until shrimp transition to a delicate pink and appear translucent.
- Flavor Fusion: Reunite all proteins and vegetables in the skillet, cascading the prepared sauce to thoroughly coat and infuse each ingredient.
- Final Refinement: Simmer the mixture, allowing the sauce to thicken and create a glossy glaze. Plate over steamed rice or noodles, embellishing with green onion slivers or toasted sesame seeds for a sophisticated presentation.
Notes
- Manage Shrimp Cooking Time: Cook shrimp quickly (2-3 minutes total) to prevent rubbery texture; they turn opaque and pink when perfectly done.
- Control Sauce Consistency: Simmer sauce at medium-low heat to thicken naturally without burning; stir constantly for even coating and glossy finish.
- Balance Flavor Intensity: Adjust honey and soy sauce ratio to match personal taste preferences; start with equal parts and modify accordingly.
- Prep Ingredients Strategically: Chop and measure ingredients beforehand to ensure smooth cooking process and prevent overcooking any component.
