Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 pound sausage (your choice), sliced
Vegetables:
- 2 cups broccoli florets
Sauce and Seasonings:
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Garnish:
- Sesame seeds
- Chopped green onions
Instructions
- Sear sliced sausage in a sizzling skillet over medium-high heat until golden and thoroughly cooked, then transfer to a separate plate.
- Infuse the same skillet with minced garlic, releasing its aromatic essence for approximately 60 seconds.
- Introduce broccoli florets to the pan, allowing them to tenderize and develop slight caramelization for 4-5 minutes.
- Reunite the sausage with the vegetables, then incorporate raw shrimp, drizzling honey, soy sauce, and rice vinegar across the mixture.
- Stir continuously while cooking shrimp until they transform into a vibrant pink and become opaque, roughly 3-4 minutes.
- For enhanced sauce consistency, dissolve cornstarch in water and swirl into the skillet, gently stirring until the liquid thickens and glosses the ingredients.
- Calibrate flavor profile with salt, black pepper, and optional crushed red pepper flakes for a subtle heat kick.
- Elevate the dish’s visual appeal by sprinkling toasted sesame seeds and finely chopped green onions, then serve immediately while piping hot.
Notes
- Adjust the heat carefully when cooking shrimp to prevent overcooking, which can make them tough and rubbery.
- Swap proteins easily by substituting shrimp with chicken or tofu for different dietary preferences or restrictions.
- For a low-carb version, serve over cauliflower rice instead of traditional rice to reduce calories and add extra nutrients.
- Create a spicier dish by increasing crushed red pepper flakes or adding a dash of sriracha sauce for extra kick.
