Ingredients

• Proteins:
  • 1 pound large shrimp (peeled and deveined, tails on optional)
  • 1 pound of turkey sausage (or your preferred non-pork sausage)
• Vegetables:
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 bell pepper (cut into strips)
  • 1 onion (cut into slices)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• Sauce:
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon ginger (grated)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili garlic sauce (adjust to spice preference)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
• Other:
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Sesame seeds for garnish
  • Optional: Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

1. Prepare the Proteins and Vegetables

• Shrimp: Pat them dry with paper towels. Season with a pinch of salt, pepper, and ½ teaspoon paprika. Let them sit while you prepare the rest.
• Sausage: Slice the sausage into ½ inch rounds.
• Vegetables: Cut broccoli into florets, slice the onion, and cut the bell pepper into strips. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger.

2. Cook the Sausage

In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sausage slices and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.

3. Cook the Shrimp

In the same skillet, heat another tablespoon of olive oil. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and are cooked through. Remove the shrimp and set aside with the sausage.

4. Sauté the Vegetables

In the same skillet, add a splash of soy sauce if needed, then add the broccoli, onion, and bell pepper. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger and sauté for another minute until fragrant.

5. Prepare the Honey-Glazed Sauce

In a small bowl, whisk together:

• ¼ cup honey
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon chili garlic sauce
• Salt and pepper to taste

Add this sauce to the skillet with the vegetables and stir to coat. Cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to slightly thicken.

6. Combine Everything

Add the cooked sausage and shrimp back into the skillet. Toss everything together to coat the proteins and vegetables with the honey-glazed sauce.

7. Garnish and Serve

Garnish with sesame seeds and fresh cilantro if desired. Serve immediately over rice or noodles for a complete meal.

Top Tips for Perfecting This Dish

• Shrimp Cooking: Make sure to dry the shrimp thoroughly before seasoning to ensure they sear nicely.
• Sausage Selection: Look for fully cooked sausage to save time, or use raw sausage and cook it longer until fully done.
• Sauce Adjustment: If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of water or broth. If it’s too sweet, add a bit more vinegar or soy sauce.
• Vegetable Prep: Steaming broccoli ahead of time or using frozen broccoli can save time without sacrificing flavor.

Storing and Reheating Tips

• Storage: Let the dish cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the fridge. It will keep for up to 3 days.
• Reheating: Reheat in the microwave or oven. For a crispy texture, skillet reheat briefly on medium heat to caramelize the sauce again.
