How To Cook It
Brown the sausage and cook broccoli in olive oil until done. Set aside and cook the shrimp till they turn pink. Mix up your sauce using butter, minced garlic, honey, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes. Toss everything back together in the pan, coat thoroughly, and enjoy while it's hot.
What To Serve With It
This tastes amazing over fluffy jasmine rice, hearty quinoa, or your favorite noodles. Want fewer carbs? Try it on cauliflower rice instead. Sprinkle some chopped green onions or sesame seeds on top for extra pop and prettier presentation.
Tricks For Perfect Results
Go for fresh shrimp if you can get them - they taste way better. Don't leave those shrimp in the pan too long or they'll get rubbery. Like things sweeter? Just add more honey to match your taste buds.
Mix It Up Your Way
Throw in some bell peppers or snap peas if you want more veggies. Not a shrimp fan? Chicken or tofu work great too. If you like things spicy, just add an extra pinch of those red pepper flakes.
Keeping Leftovers
Pop any extras in a sealed container and they'll stay good in your fridge for about 3 days. When you're ready to eat again, warm it up in a pan or microwave with a tiny splash of water so the sauce doesn't dry out.
Last Thoughts
This Sweet Garlic Shrimp Sausage & Broccoli works for pretty much any situation. It's so easy to throw together that you can make it on busy weeknights, but it's still fancy enough to serve when friends come over.
