40g soy sauce (low-sodium recommended for better balance)
25g oyster sauce (adds a rich umami depth)
10g rice vinegar (for a touch of acidity)
5g sesame oil (to enhance the nutty, toasted flavor)
15g minced garlic (about 3 cloves)
5g grated ginger (adds warmth and spice)
5g cornstarch mixed with 10g water (to thicken the sauce)

For the Stir-Fry:

300g shrimp, peeled and deveined (medium to large size works best)
200g smoked sausage, sliced into rounds (use andouille, kielbasa, or your favorite)
250g broccoli florets (cut into bite-sized pieces)
20g olive oil (for sautéing)
2g salt (or to taste)
2g black pepper (freshly ground for best flavor)
5g red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
10g sesame seeds (for garnish)
10g chopped green onions (for garnish)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Honey Garlic Sauce

In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger until well combined.
In a small cup, mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry and set aside. This will help thicken the sauce later.

Step 2: Sear the Sausage

Heat 10g olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
Add the sliced sausage and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it becomes golden brown and slightly crispy.
Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

Step 3: Cook the Shrimp

In the same skillet, add another 10g olive oil if needed.
Season the shrimp with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Cook the shrimp for 1-2 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and opaque.
Remove the shrimp and set aside with the sausage.

Step 4: Steam the Broccoli

Add the broccoli florets to the same skillet and pour in 2-3 tablespoons of water.
Cover with a lid and let it steam for 3-4 minutes, or until the broccoli is bright green and slightly tender.

Step 5: Combine Everything & Add the Sauce

Return the shrimp and sausage to the pan with the broccoli.
Pour the honey garlic sauce over the ingredients, stirring well to coat everything.
Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Step 6: Serve & Garnish

Remove from heat and sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
Serve hot over steamed rice, noodles, or enjoy as is.

Pro Tips & Tricks for the Best Stir-Fry

???? Use Fresh Ingredients for the Best Flavor

Fresh shrimp, high-quality sausage, and crisp broccoli will make a noticeable difference in taste and texture.

???? Don’t Overcook the Shrimp

Shrimp cooks very quickly! Overcooked shrimp becomes rubbery, so remove it from heat as soon as it turns pink.

???? Want More Vegetables? Go for It!

You can add:

Bell peppers (for color and crunch)
Mushrooms (for an earthy touch)
Carrots (for natural sweetness)

???? Make It Spicy

Love heat? Add extra red pepper flakes, sriracha, or chili oil.

???? Meal Prep & Storage

Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Reheat: Best reheated in a skillet over medium heat.
Freezer: Not recommended, as shrimp and broccoli can lose texture.
