    Why You'll Love This Recipe

    One could say that summer cooking is lazy cooking, but I say it's just simplified. I crave light meals, with simple fresh ingredients. No flavor sacrifice here!

    These easy skewers with shrimp and smoked sausage are just that. Quick to prep, quick to cook and packed with flavor. You can prep them a day before and cook the next day! I added veggies for texture and color but you can serve them with Dirty Rice or Creamy Polenta.

    I added peppers and onions to my skewers, mushrooms and zucchini work great too! This dish is low-carb, just like my Baked Pork Chops and Air Fryer Cauliflower.

    Ingredients:

    Ingredients for skewers on a marble board.
    • shrimp: I recommend jumbo size,
    • sausage: I used smoked, but Polish or even andouille works great,
    • oil: olive or vegetable,
    • seasoning: I used my homemade Cajun mix.

    I added sweet peppers and red onion. You can use other vegetables or skip them altogether if you are going to serve this dish with a vegetable side.

    How to make shrimp and sausage skewers?

    • Start by preparing the shrimp. Peel, devein, rinse, and pat dry with a paper towel.
    • Slice sausage, peppers, and onions (if using).
    • Preheat the grill.
    • Place all ingredients in a bowl, drizzle with oil, and add seasoning. Toss together.
    • Place shrimp, sausage, and veggies on skewers.
    • Grill for about 3 minutes per side.
    • Serve.
    Ingredients in a bowl and on wooden skewers.

    How long does it take to grill shrimp skewers?

    Shrimp cooks really fast in a skillet and on the grill. These skewers take about 2 to 3 minutes of cooking time, per side. As soon as you see the shrimp turn pink, flip the skewer and cook the other side.

    Can I prep this dish ahead of time?

    Yes! That's what I do. I mix shrimp and sausage with oil and seasoning in a bowl, cover it with plastic wrap and store it in the fridge overnight. The next day, just place everything on skewers and cook!

      I am not much of a meat-eater ut I had made this for my family. They were all talking about how good it was so much that I had to try some. This seriously has me contemplating going back to eating more meat. Thanks for the amazing recipe.
