Guidelines

1. Get the sauce ready:

  • Combine the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and sesame oil (if desired) in a small bowl. Put aside.

2. Prepare the sausage:

  • In a big skillet set over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil.
  • When the sausage is browned and crispy around the edges, add it to the skillet with the slices and cook for 4–5 minutes. After taking the sausage out of the skillet, set it aside.

3. Prepare the broccoli:

  • Add the broccoli florets to the same skillet. They should be sautéed for three to four minutes, stirring now and then, until they start to get soft and color.
  • If the broccoli is too hard, steam it for a further two minutes by adding a splash of water to the skillet and covering it with a lid.

4. Prepare the prawns:

  • Move the broccoli to one side of the skillet, leaving the other side vacant, and add the prawns.
  • Add crushed red pepper flakes, salt and pepper to the prawns (if using).
  • Shrimp should be cooked for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until they become opaque and pink.

5. Mix and Include Sauce:

  • Place the cooked sausage back into the skillet and stir to combine.
  • Drizzle the broccoli, sausage and prawns with the honey garlic sauce. Make sure the sauce coats every component evenly by tossing everything in it.
  • Simmer for a further two to three minutes to let the sauce to get glossy and thick.

6. Present:

  • If you’d like, remove the skillet from the heat and add sesame seeds as a garnish.
  • For a full supper, serve the sausage, broccoli and honey garlic shrimp over cooked rice or quinoa.

Advice for Excellence

  • Shrimp: Watch the shrimp carefully to avoid overcooking them, since they cook quickly and becoming rubbery if cooked for an extended period of time.
  • Sausage: Try using a spicy smoked sausage like andouille for extra flavour. It provides a pleasing counterpoint to the honey garlic sauce’s richness.
  • Broccoli: There’s no need to thaw frozen broccoli before using it. Simply extend the cooking time by one or two minutes.
