Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450g) shrimp, large, peeled and deveined
- 8 oz (225g) sausage, smoked, sliced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- ¼ cup (60 ml) soy sauce
- ¼ cup (85 g) honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated (optional, for extra flavor)
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for spice)
Instructions
- Sauce Preparation: Whisk soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes in a bowl, allowing flavors to infuse while preparing other components.
- Sausage Searing: Heat skillet over medium-high, add oil, and crisp sausage slices until golden with caramelized edges, developing deep flavor profiles.
- Broccoli Cooking: Introduce broccoli florets to the same skillet, stirring to achieve bright green color and maintain a tender-crisp texture.
- Protein Sautéing: Remove sausage and broccoli, then quickly cook shrimp in the skillet until pink and slightly curled, ensuring delicate tenderness.
- Combining and Glazing: Return sausage and broccoli to skillet with shrimp, pour prepared sauce over ingredients, gently tossing to create an even, glossy coating.
- Final Reduction: Simmer mixture to thicken sauce, allowing it to cling richly to each ingredient and intensify overall flavor complexity.
- Serving: Plate over steamed rice or noodles, garnishing with green onions and toasted sesame seeds for a professional, appetizing presentation.
Notes
- Prevent Overcooking Shrimp: Watch shrimp carefully, cooking just until they turn pink and curl slightly to maintain tender, juicy texture without becoming rubbery.
- Balance Sauce Consistency: Simmer sauce briefly to thicken, ensuring it coats ingredients evenly without becoming too watery or burning.
- Control Skillet Temperature: Maintain medium-high heat to achieve perfect caramelization on sausage and crisp-tender broccoli without scorching.
- Customize Spice Levels: Adjust red pepper flakes to personal preference, allowing for mild to spicy variations that suit different taste preferences.
