Ingredients
  

  • 400 g shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 250 g beef or chicken sausage sliced
  • 2 cups broccoli florets bite-sized
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 4 garlic cloves minced

Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper adjust to taste
  • Salt to taste
  • Optional: ¼ teaspoon red chili flakes for heat

Instructions
 

  • Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Allow it to warm for about 30–60 seconds until it begins to shimmer slightly—this helps prevent sticking and ensures even cooking right from the start.
  • Add the sliced sausage to the skillet in a single layer. Let it cook undisturbed for 2–3 minutes to develop a golden, slightly crispy edge, then stir and continue cooking for another 2–3 minutes until evenly browned and heated through.
  • Add the broccoli florets to the pan and mix them with the sausage. Cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli turns bright green and becomes slightly tender while still holding a bit of crunch. If you prefer softer broccoli, add a small splash of water and cover the pan for 1–2 minutes to steam lightly.
  • Stir in the minced garlic and 1 tablespoon of butter. Mix well and cook for about 1 minute until the garlic becomes fragrant and the butter melts, coating the sausage and broccoli in a rich, flavorful base. Be careful not to burn the garlic—keep the heat moderate.
  • Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single, even layer. Let them cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes, then flip each piece and cook for another 1–2 minutes until they turn pink, opaque, and slightly firm to the touch. Avoid overcooking, as shrimp can become rubbery very quickly.
  • Sprinkle in salt, black pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning. Stir gently to evenly distribute the spices across all ingredients, ensuring every bite is well-seasoned. Taste and adjust salt if needed.
  • Toss everything together carefully, making sure the shrimp, sausage, and broccoli are evenly combined and coated in the buttery, seasoned mixture. Let it cook together for another 1–2 minutes so the flavors fully blend.
  • Remove the skillet from heat and let it rest for about a minute. Serve immediately while warm for the best texture and flavor, either on its own or alongside your favorite keto side.
