FAQs
How do I prevent the shrimp from overcooking?
Shrimp cook very quickly, so I make sure to add them at the end and cook them just until they turn pink. Overcooking will make them rubbery.
Can I make this dish ahead of time?
Yes! I can prep the ingredients in advance by slicing the sausage, chopping the broccoli, and mixing the sauce. When ready to cook, everything comes together in minutes.
What type of sausage works best?
I prefer smoked sausage or andouille for a bold flavor, but any fully cooked sausage works. If using raw sausage, I make sure to cook it through before adding the other ingredients.
Can I use frozen shrimp?
Yes, but I thaw them first by placing them in a bowl of cold water for about 15 minutes, then pat them dry before cooking.
What can I serve this with?
This dish is great on its own but also pairs well with rice, quinoa, noodles, or even mashed potatoes for a heartier meal.
Conclusion
This Honey Garlic Shrimp, Sausage & Broccoli is a fantastic one-pan meal that’s quick, delicious, and packed with bold flavors.
