Ingredients
For the honey garlic sauce:
- ¼ cup honey
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium recommended)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for spice)
For the main dish:
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 6 ounces smoked sausage, sliced (such as andouille or kielbasa)
- 1 cup bell peppers, sliced (mix of red, yellow, or green)
- 1 cup zucchini, sliced
- ½ cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
For garnish:
- Chopped fresh parsley
- Sesame seeds
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes (if using). Set aside.
2. Cook the Sausage
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced sausage and cook for about 3-4 minutes until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3. Sauté the Vegetables
In the same skillet, add the bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion. Season with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and Italian seasoning. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the veggies are tender but still crisp. Remove and set aside with the sausage.
4. Cook the Shrimp
Add the shrimp to the skillet and pour in the honey garlic sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the shrimp turns pink and opaque.
5. Combine Everything
Return the cooked sausage and veggies to the skillet with the shrimp. Stir everything together and let it cook for 1-2 more minutes so the flavors meld.
6. Garnish and Serve
Sprinkle with chopped parsley and sesame seeds. Serve hot over rice, quinoa, or enjoy as is!
