Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Ingredients:

Start by prepping all your ingredients. Peel and devein the shrimp, slice the sausage, and cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets. Mince the garlic and set everything aside.

2. Cook the Sausage and Broccoli:

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced sausage and cook for 3-4 minutes until it starts to brown and become slightly crispy. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set it aside.
In the same skillet, add the broccoli florets. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is bright green and just tender. Remove the broccoli from the skillet and set it aside with the sausage.

3. Cook the Shrimp:

In the same skillet, add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp as they can become tough. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
