Ingredients
1 lb (450 g) large shrimp, peeled & deveined
8 oz (225 g) smoked sausage (andouille or kielbasa), sliced ¼″
2 cups broccoli florets
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
4 cloves garlic, minced
3 Tbsp butter
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
1 Tbsp lemon juice
½ tsp smoked paprika
Salt & black pepper to taste
Optional: chopped parsley or green onions for garnish
Instructions
1. Blanch the broccoli briefly in boiling water, then shock in ice water and set aside.
2. Sauté sausage slices in olive oil until golden brown and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, melt butter and cook the shrimp seasoned with salt, pepper, and paprika until pink.
4. Add more butter and sauté garlic briefly, then stir-fry red peppers and blanched broccoli.
5. Return sausage and shrimp to the skillet, drizzle with soy sauce and lemon juice, and toss to coat.
6. Garnish with parsley or green onions and serve hot over rice, noodles, or alone.
Notes
Don’t overcook the shrimp—they should curl to a gentle “C” shape.
Blanching the broccoli preserves its bright green color and texture.
Use smoked sausage for extra flavor depth.
Adjust lemon and soy sauce balance based on your taste.
