Here’s a Honey Garlic Shrimp, Sausage, and Broccoli recipe with detailed steps and FAQs to make it super easy for you:

🍯🧄 Honey Garlic Shrimp, Sausage, and Broccoli

Ingredients:

• 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 8 oz smoked sausage (kielbasa or andouille), sliced into rounds
• 2 cups broccoli florets (fresh or lightly steamed if frozen)
• 2 tbsp olive oil (divided)
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp ginger, grated (optional, for extra flavor)
• 1/3 cup honey
• 1/4 cup soy sauce (low-sodium preferred)
• 2 tbsp rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
• 1 tsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water (slurry, optional for thickening)
• Red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
• Sesame seeds & green onions for garnish

Instructions:

1. Prep the sauce:
   In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, vinegar, and garlic (and ginger if using). Set aside.
2. Cook the sausage:
   Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add sausage slices and sear until browned on both sides (about 4–5 minutes). Remove and set aside.
3. Cook the broccoli:
   In the same pan, add broccoli and a splash of water. Stir-fry until bright green and tender-crisp (about 3–4 minutes). Remove and set aside.
4. Cook the shrimp:
   Add remaining oil to the skillet, then toss in shrimp. Cook for 1–2 minutes per side until pink and opaque.
5. Bring it together:
   Return sausage and broccoli to the pan. Pour in the honey garlic sauce, stirring to coat everything evenly. If you prefer a thicker sauce, stir in the cornstarch slurry and simmer 1–2 minutes until glossy.
6. Garnish & serve:
   Sprinkle with sesame seeds, sliced green onions, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Serve hot over rice, quinoa, or noodles.

🍴 Serving Suggestions:

• Steamed jasmine or basmati rice
• Garlic butter noodles
• Cauliflower rice (low-carb option)

❓ Recipe FAQs

Q1: Can I use frozen shrimp?
Yes! Just thaw and pat dry before cooking so they sear properly.

Q2: What type of sausage works best?
Smoked sausage (kielbasa, andouille, or turkey sausage) works well for flavor. If you prefer less smoky, use chicken sausage.

Q3: Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes. Cook everything, cool, and store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet for best texture.

Q4: How do I keep shrimp from overcooking?
Shrimp cook very fast (1–2 minutes per side). As soon as they turn pink and curl into a “C” shape, they’re done.

Q5: Can I swap the broccoli?
Absolutely. Try snap peas, bell peppers, or zucchini for variety.

Q6: How can I make it spicier?
Add sriracha, chili paste, or extra red pepper flakes to the sauce.

Q7: Is this recipe gluten-free?
Yes—just use gluten-free soy sauce (tamari or coconut aminos).
