Ingredients
- 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 8 ounce sausage, sliced
- 2 cup broccoli florets
- 3 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional garnish: fresh parsley, lemon wedges
Instructions
1. Start by peeling and deveining the shrimp, leaving the tails on if desired. Slice the sausage and cut the broccoli into florets.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and cook the sausage slices until they are browned and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set it aside.
3. In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the broccoli florets for 5-6 minutes, until they are tender-crisp. Season the broccoli with salt and pepper, then remove it from the skillet and set it aside.
4. Add the shrimp to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until they are pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set them aside.
5. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until the garlic is fragrant and golden.
6. Return the sausage, broccoli, and shrimp to the skillet. Pour the garlic butter sauce over the ingredients and toss to coat everything evenly.
7. Serve the Garlic Butter Shrimp Sausage and Broccoli immediately, garnished with fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice if desired.
Notes
Garlic Butter Shrimp Sausage and Broccoli is a versatile dish that can be easily customized to suit your preferences. You can substitute the protein, using chicken or tofu instead of shrimp and sausage. For the vegetables, try swapping in asparagus, bell peppers, or other seasonal produce. The garlic butter sauce can also be adjusted to your liking, with the addition of lemon juice, spicy seasonings, or even a touch of Parmesan cheese.
