Instructions:

1️⃣ Prepare the Honey Garlic Sauce:

• In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup honey, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (if using). Set aside this sweet and savory sauce. 🍯🧄🍋

2️⃣ Cook the Sausage:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the 8 oz sliced smoked sausage and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned on both sides. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside. 🌭

3️⃣ Cook the Shrimp:

• In the same skillet, add the 1 lb of shrimp. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside with the sausage. 🍤

4️⃣ Cook the Broccoli:

5️⃣ Combine and Finish:

• Return the cooked sausage and shrimp to the skillet with the broccoli. Pour the prepared honey garlic sauce over everything and stir to coat all the ingredients evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and coat everything. 🌭🍤🥦
