Frequently Asked Questions

→ What type of sausage works best?
Smoked sausage like kielbasa or andouille works well, but any pre-cooked sausage can be used based on your preference.
→ Can I use frozen shrimp or broccoli?
Yes, just thaw and pat dry the shrimp before cooking, and make sure frozen broccoli is fully thawed to prevent excess water in the dish.
→ How do I prevent overcooking the shrimp?
Cook shrimp just until they turn pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side. They'll cook a bit more when returned to the sauce.
→ What can I serve this with?
This dish pairs well with steamed rice, noodles, or cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.
→ Can I make this ahead?
While best served fresh, you can prep all ingredients ahead. Cook just before serving to maintain the best texture of the shrimp and broccoli.
