Ingredients
For the Honey Garlic Sauce:
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
For the Main Dish:
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 head broccoli, cut into florets
- 13 ounces kielbasa sausage, sliced
- Cooked white rice, for serving
- Chopped parsley, for garnish
Instructions
1. Prepare the Honey Garlic Sauce
In a bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes. Whisk together until smooth and glossy. Set aside two-thirds of the sauce for later use.
2. Marinate the Shrimp
Place the shrimp in a zip-top bag, pour in the remaining honey garlic sauce, seal the bag, and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
3. Cook the Broccoli
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the broccoli florets and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp. Remove the broccoli from the skillet and set aside.
4. Cook the Sausage and Shrimp
In the same skillet, heat the remaining olive oil. Add the sliced kielbasa sausage and cook for 4-5 minutes until browned. Remove the shrimp from the marinade (discard the marinade) and add them to the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, until pink and opaque.
5. Combine and Simmer
Pour the reserved honey garlic sauce into the skillet. Simmer for 3-5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Add the cooked broccoli and toss everything until well coated.
6. Serve
Spoon the shrimp, sausage, and broccoli mixture over cooked white rice. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot. Enjoy!
