Cooking Steps
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add about 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the sliced sausage and cook for 5-7 minutes until it's browned and crisp.
  2. In the same skillet, add another splash of olive oil if needed, then toss in the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Incorporate the broccoli florets into the skillet with the garlic and cook for about 4-5 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.
  4. Return the browned sausage to the skillet, then add the shrimp, honey, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Stir well and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.
  5. For a thicker sauce, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with a little water to create a slurry. Add it to the skillet and stir until the sauce has thickened.
  6. Taste the dish and season with salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes to enhance the flavors. Mix well.
  7. Sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions on top for garnish. Serve hot and enjoy.
