ADVERTISEMENT

 

#### For the Stir-Fry:

* 1 lb shrimp (peeled and deveined)
* 8 oz smoked sausage (sliced into rounds)
* 2 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen, thawed)
* 2 tbsp olive oil or sesame oil
* Salt & pepper to taste
* Red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
* Cooked rice or noodles, for serving

### 👨‍🍳 How to Make It

#### 1. **Make the Sauce**

In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger. Set aside. Mix cornstarch with water in another small bowl and keep it ready.

#### 2. **Sear the Sausage**

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add sliced sausage and cook until browned on both sides, about 3–4 minutes. Remove and set aside.

#### 3. **Cook the Shrimp**

In the same pan, add a bit more oil if needed. Season shrimp lightly with salt and pepper. Cook 1–2 minutes per side until just pink and opaque. Remove and set aside with sausage.

#### 4. **Stir-Fry the Broccoli**

Add broccoli to the pan with a splash of water. Cover and steam for 2–3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Uncover and stir-fry for another minute.

#### 5. **Bring It All Together**

Return shrimp and sausage to the pan. Pour in the honey garlic sauce. Once it begins to simmer, stir in the cornstarch slurry to thicken the glaze. Toss everything together until evenly coated and heated through.

### 🍚 How to Serve

Serve hot over:

* Steamed jasmine or brown rice
* Stir-fried noodles or lo mein
* Quinoa or cauliflower rice for a low-carb twist

### 🔁 Tips & Variations

* **Add bell peppers or snap peas** for even more color and crunch.
* Swap shrimp with **chicken or tofu** for an easy variation.
