Instructions
 

Step 1: Make the Honey Garlic Sauce

  • In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.

Step 2: Cook the Shrimp

  • Heat ½ tablespoon olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add shrimp, season with salt, black pepper, and paprika, and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove from pan.

Step 3: Brown the Sausage

  • In the same skillet, add the sliced sausage and cook for 4-5 minutes until browned. Remove from pan.

Step 4: Sauté the Vegetables

  • Add the remaining olive oil to the skillet. Toss in bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion.
  • Season with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook for 5-6 minutes until tender-crisp.

Step 5: Combine Everything

  • Return shrimp and sausage to the skillet with the veggies.
  • Pour the honey garlic sauce over everything and toss to coat.
  • Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 6: Serve & Garnish

  • Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve hot over rice or quinoa if desired. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave before serving.
  • Make it Spicy: Add extra red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce for more heat.
  • Low-Carb/Keto Option: Serve over cauliflower rice instead of regular rice.
  • Protein Swap: Try chicken, steak, or tofu instead of shrimp for variety.
