In the same skillet, add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp as they can become tough. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
4. Make the Honey Garlic Sauce:
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the honey, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes (if using). Let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly and becomes glossy.
5. Combine and Serve:
Return the cooked sausage, broccoli, and shrimp to the skillet, tossing everything together until well coated with the honey garlic sauce. Cook for another 2 minutes to heat everything through.
If desired, finish the dish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for a bright, tangy flavor.
6. Garnish and Serve:
Serve the Honey Garlic Shrimp, Sausage & Broccoli hot, over steamed rice, noodles, or on its own. Garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds for an extra touch.

Tips for Making the Best Honey Garlic Shrimp, Sausage & Broccoli
Use Fresh Shrimp: Fresh, large shrimp work best in this recipe, but you can also use frozen shrimp. Just be sure to thaw and pat them dry before cooking to avoid excess moisture.
Don’t Overcook the Shrimp: Shrimp cook quickly and can become rubbery if overcooked. Keep an eye on them and remove them from the heat as soon as they turn pink and opaque.
Adjust the Sweetness: The honey garlic sauce is sweet and savory, but you can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey to suit your taste.
