Ingredients
- Honey: Brings natural sweetness and a beautiful glaze. Look for wildflower or clover honey for the best aroma
- Soy sauce: Provides salty depth. Use a low-sodium version if desired
- Ginger: Both fresh and ground ginger work, but always choose a plump, fragrant piece if using fresh
- Garlic powder: Infuses extra mellow garlicky flavor
- Minced garlic: Delivers bold aromatic notes. Fresh is best
- Crushed red pepper: Adds a small kick. Adjust to taste or skip for kids
- Shrimp: Choose large raw shrimp that are firm and smell like the ocean, not fishy
- Broccoli florets: Should be vibrant green with tight tops. Cut into even-sized pieces
- Smoked sausage: Pick a fully cooked sausage with a smoky aroma. Slice evenly for browning
- Olive oil: For pan-roasting with a mild fruity flavor
- Butter: For richness and helping the shrimp brown nicely
- Cornstarch: Thickens the sauce. Always check for a powdery texture and store in a dry place
