Pro Tips for the Best Stir-Fry

• Pat the shrimp dry before cooking for the best sear.
• Slice sausage thin so it browns quickly and evenly.
• For extra tender broccoli, add a splash of water and cover the pan for one minute while stir-frying.
• Adjust the spice level by changing the amount of red pepper flakes.
• Try different sausages such as turkey, chicken, or plant-based for variety.

Variations and Dietary Options

• For a gluten-free meal, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
• Make it keto by skipping the honey or using a keto-friendly sweetener.
• Use pre-cooked shrimp if you want to save time. Just add them at the end to warm through.
• Try swapping broccoli with broccolini, snap peas, or any stir-fry vegetable blend.
