Preparation
  1. Prep your mise en place: Pat shrimp dry and season lightly with salt and pepper. Slice sausage, mince garlic, measure honey and soy.
Blanch Broccoli
  1. Boil water, add broccoli for 1 minute, then plunge into ice water. Drain and set aside.
Sear Sausage
  1. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage slices and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.
Cook Shrimp
  1. Add remaining oil. Add shrimp in a single layer, cook for 1.5–2 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove shrimp.
Build Sauce
  1. Lower heat to medium. Add butter (if using) and minced garlic; cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in honey, soy sauce, and rice vinegar.
Combine and Finish
  1. Return sausage, shrimp, and broccoli to the skillet. Toss to coat and heat through for 1–2 minutes. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes, green onions, and sesame seeds.

Notes

For a tangy twist, substitute lemon juice for rice vinegar or use turkey sausage for a healthier option.
