# Ingredients:
→ Essentials
01 -
2 cups of broccoli broken into small pieces
02 -
One pound (450g) of shrimp with tails off, cleaned
03 -
8 ounces (225g) of sausage, cut in rounds
→ Flavor & Sauce
04 -
3 tablespoons of unsalted butter
05 -
3 tablespoons of olive oil
06 -
4 garlic cloves, chopped small
07 -
Adjust salt and pepper as you like
→ Extras for Serving
08 -
Chopped parsley, if you want
09 -
A few lemon slices, optional
# Instructions:
01 -
Clean the shrimp and leave the tails on if you prefer. Chop broccoli into manageable pieces and slice the sausage thinly.
02 -
Take a large skillet and heat up one tablespoon of oil. Cook the sausage slices until crispy and browned, about 5-7 minutes, then take them out and set aside.
03 -
In the same pan, pour in an extra tablespoon of olive oil and toss in the broccoli. Cook for about 5-6 minutes, keeping it tender yet firm. Season lightly, remove, and put aside.
04 -
Use the skillet again to add the shrimp. Put in salt and pepper, and cook until they turn pink, about 2-3 minutes per side, then take them off the heat.
05 -
Melt your butter in a small pan over medium heat. Once melted, add the garlic and stir for 1-2 minutes until it smells sweet and looks golden.
06 -
Return the shrimp, sausage, and broccoli to the skillet. Pour the buttery garlic sauce over everything and mix so all the pieces are coated well.
07 -
Serve right away, adding chopped parsley or a little lemon squeeze if you’d like.
# Notes:
01 -
You can serve this dish over cooked rice, pasta, or even cauliflower rice for a lighter option.
02 -
Spicy andouille or smoky kielbasa sausage tastes fantastic here.
03 -
A splash of white wine adds more punch when making the butter sauce.
