This delightful shrimp and sausage skillet with broccoli and bell peppers is a whirlwind of flavors. The smoky sausage, juicy shrimp, and crispy veggies are drenched in a delectable honey garlic soy sauce. The sweet and savory blend perfectly complements the freshness of the shrimp, the richness of the sausage, and the slight char on the broccoli.

This dish is my go-to for weeknight dinners as it requires minimal ingredients and can be cooked in just one skillet or frying pan. I usually pair it with rice or quinoa, but it’s equally delicious on its own. In under 30 minutes, you’ll have a satisfying and nutritious meal on the table.

Recipe Tips

• Avoid overcooking the shrimp and sausage by removing them from the pan once done. Reincorporate them at the end to maintain tenderness.
• Cover the veggies with a lid for a few minutes to expedite the cooking process, steam them, and impart a slight charred flavor.
• Variations: Swap shrimp with chicken or tofu, or include more veggies like mushrooms or snap peas. Adjust the honey or lemon juice for desired sweetness or tang.

Serving Suggestions

This dish pairs wonderfully with fluffy white rice or quinoa to soak up the savory sauce. Alternatively, serve it with garlic bread on the side or toss in some noodles for a stir-fry essence. A light side salad with vinaigrette would perfectly complement the meal.
