Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium Red Potatoes, boiled until tender
- 2 ears Sweet Corn, cut into rings
- 1 pound Medium to Large Shrimp, shell removed
- 1 pound Andouille or Smoked Sausage, cut into sections
- 2 tablespoons Cajun Seasoning
- 4 Wooden or Metal Skewers (soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before use)
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (for oiling grill grates)
- 1/4 cup Fresh Herbs, chopped parsley or cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- Boil the quartered potatoes and sweet corn in a large saucepan for about 5 minutes until just tender. Drain and cool them in ice water to stop the cooking process.
- On each skewer, thread the sausage, shrimp, corn, and potatoes, alternating the ingredients. Leave about 1 inch of space at both ends of the skewer for easy handling.
- Sprinkle a generous amount of Cajun seasoning over the assembled Cajun shrimp sausage kebabs on both sides, ensuring they are well coated.
- Lightly oil the grill grates using a cloth dipped in olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Place the Cajun shrimp sausage skewers on the grill. Cook for about 3-5 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp turn opaque and the vegetables are tender.
- Carefully slide the ingredients off the skewers onto a serving platter.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or cilantro, if desired.
Notes
- Soak wooden skewers for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning.
- Aim for shrimp that curls slightly as it cooks; overcooking will make them rubbery.
- Don’t skimp on the Cajun seasoning for the best flavor.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To reheat, thaw overnight in the fridge and warm up on the grill or in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes.
