Honey Garlic Shrimp with Sausage and Broccoli – Easy Shrimp Recipes
Some nights, I stare into the fridge hoping for inspiration—and that’s how this honey garlic shrimp with sausage and broccoli was born. I had some frozen shrimp, a rogue sausage link, and a sad little head of broccoli. What happened next? Magic. Sweet, sticky, garlicky magic.
We’re talking quick. Like 20-minutes-and-it’s-on-your-plate quick. And the flavor? Oh, it’s bold, savory, and balanced with just enough sweetness to make you lick the spoon. I won’t judge. I’ve done it too. The shrimp soak up that honey garlic glaze like they were made for it. And the sausage? Spicy, smoky, and the perfect curveball.
Whether you’re cooking for yourself or trying to impress someone with minimal effort (we’ve all been there), this dish checks all the boxes. Minimal cleanup, fast prep, and enough flavor to make it feel like you planned this all week.
