Ingredients
For the Stir-Fry:
1 lb (450g) shrimp, peeled & deveined
6 oz smoked sausage (chicken, turkey), sliced
2 cups broccoli florets
2 tbsp vegetable or olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for spice)
1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
For the Honey Garlic Sauce:
¼ cup honey
3 tbsp soy sauce (low sodium recommended)
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp sriracha or chili garlic sauce (adjust for spice)
1 tsp vegetable oil
1 tsp cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
Instructions
Make the Sauce:
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sriracha, and olive oil. If you want a thicker sauce, dissolve cornstarch in a tablespoon of water and mix it in. Set aside.
Cook the Sausage:
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add sliced sausage and cook for 3–4 minutes until browned. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Stir-Fry the Broccoli:
In the same pan, add another tablespoon of oil. Add broccoli and cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly tender. If needed, add a splash of water to help steam the broccoli.
Cook the Shrimp:
Push the broccoli to the side and add shrimp and garlic to the pan. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side until shrimp turn pink and opaque.
Combine Everything:
Return the sausage to the pan and pour in the honey garlic sauce. Stir everything together and cook for another 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the ingredients.
Serve:
Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions. Serve hot over rice, quinoa, or enjoy as is!
