⭐ Honey Garlic Shrimp, Sausage, and Broccoli – The One-Pan Dinner You’ll Make Again and Again!
If you’re craving a weeknight dinner that tastes like it came straight from a restaurant but takes barely any effort, this Honey Garlic Shrimp, Sausage, and Broccoli recipe is about to become your new obsession. I first made it on a night when I needed something fast, filling, and flavorful—but I wasn’t expecting it to be THIS good. The sweetness of the honey, the savory kick from the sausage, the tenderness of the shrimp, and the perfectly roasted broccoli all come together in one satisfying, saucy, sticky-sweet skillet.
What I love most is how versatile and family-friendly this dish is. You can serve it over rice, toss it with noodles, scoop it into bowls for meal prep, or enjoy it straight from the pan. The aroma of garlic and honey caramelizing is enough to pull everyone into the kitchen asking, “What are you cooking?!” And trust me—there will be no leftovers.
This one-pan recipe is also budget-friendly, quick (ready in about 20 minutes!), and naturally high in protein. It’s perfect for busy nights, lazy weekends, or when you want something impressive without spending hours cooking. The sweet-savory glaze coats every bite, making even the broccoli absolutely irresistible.

📝 Ingredients
For the skillet:

12 oz smoked sausage, sliced
2 cups broccoli florets
2 tbsp olive oil (divided)
Salt & black pepper, to taste
Optional: red pepper flakes
For the honey garlic sauce:
1/4 cup honey
3–4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp butter
Optional: 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tsp water (for a thicker sauce)
👩🍳 How to Make It
- Prep the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, garlic, soy sauce, and lemon juice. Set aside.
- Cook the sausage: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large pan. Add sausage slices and cook until browned on both sides. Remove and set aside.
- Sauté the broccoli: Add the second tablespoon of olive oil and toss in the broccoli. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook until slightly tender but still crisp.
- Add the shrimp: Push broccoli to one side and add the shrimp to the pan. Cook 2–3 minutes per side until pink.
- Combine: Add sausage back into the pan and pour the honey garlic sauce over everything.
- Simmer: Let everything cook together on medium heat for 3–5 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the shrimp, sausage, and broccoli.
- Serve: Enjoy hot over rice, noodles, or as a low-carb bowl!
