Notes
Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Make sure the dish is completely cooled before sealing to maintain freshness and prevent moisture buildup.
Reheating: Reheat the dish gently in a skillet over medium-low heat until warmed through, usually about 5-7 minutes. You can also microwave it in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, to ensure even heating without overcooking the shrimp.
Serving: Serve the Honey Garlic Shrimp, Sausage & Broccoli over cooked rice or quinoa for a complete meal. Garnish with sliced green onions or sesame seeds for added flavor and presentation.
Chef’s Tip: For an extra layer of flavor, marinate the shrimp in a mixture of soy sauce, honey, and garlic for about 15-30 minutes before cooking. This will enhance their taste and make them even more delicious!
