# What You'll Gather:

01 - 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
02 - 8 oz smoked sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
03 - 2 cups broccoli florets
04 - 1 tablespoon olive oil

→ Honey Garlic Sauce

05 - 4 cloves garlic, minced
06 - 1/4 cup honey
07 - 1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
08 - 1 tablespoon lemon juice
09 - 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

→ Seasonings & Serving

10 - Salt and pepper to taste
11 - Cooked rice or quinoa for serving
12 - Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped for garnish (optional)

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes (if using). Set aside.
02 - In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced sausage and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned on both sides. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
03 - In the same skillet, add the shrimp. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside with the sausage.
04 - Add the broccoli florets to the skillet, and sauté for about 4-5 minutes until they are tender-crisp. You can add a splash of water to the skillet to help steam the broccoli if needed.
05 - Return the sausage and shrimp to the skillet with the broccoli. Pour the honey garlic sauce over the mixture and stir to coat everything evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and coat the ingredients.
06 - Serve the honey garlic shrimp, sausage, and broccoli over cooked rice or quinoa. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro if desired.
