# Ingredients You’ll Need:

→ Main

01 - 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
02 - 8 ounces smoked sausage, sliced
03 - 2 cups broccoli florets

→ Sauce

04 - 3 tablespoons honey
05 - 3 cloves garlic, minced
06 - 1/4 cup soy sauce

→ Cooking Fat and Seasonings

07 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
08 - Salt, to taste
09 - Black pepper, to taste

→ Finishing Touch (optional)

10 - 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

# How to Make It:

01 - Peel and devein the shrimp, slice the smoked sausage, cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets, and mince the garlic. Set all ingredients aside for assembly.
02 - Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced sausage and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and beginning to crisp. Remove the sausage from the skillet and reserve.
03 - In the same skillet, add the broccoli florets and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until bright green and just tender. Remove the broccoli and set aside with the sausage.
04 - Add the shrimp to the same skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until pink and opaque. Avoid overcooking to maintain a tender texture. Remove shrimp and reserve.
05 - Reduce heat to medium. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in honey and soy sauce, whisking together, and allow the sauce to simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until slightly thickened and glossy.
06 - Return cooked sausage, broccoli, and shrimp to the skillet. Toss to coat thoroughly in the honey garlic sauce, and cook for an additional 2 minutes to ensure flavors meld and ingredients are heated through.
07 - Season the dish with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste. If desired, finish with a tablespoon of fresh lemon juice for brightness.
08 - Serve hot as a main course on its own, or over steamed white rice, noodles, or cauliflower rice for a low-carb alternative. Garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds, if desired.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - For best results, use fresh shrimp and avoid overcooking to maintain tenderness. The honey garlic sauce can be adjusted in sweetness to preference. Additional vegetables such as snap peas or bell peppers can be included for variation.
