Cajun Shrimp and Sausage Kebabs
Kick your grillin' up a notch with these amazing Cajun Shrimp and Sausage Kebabs! These Cajun Shrimp Kebabs are layered with seasoned potatoes, fresh sweet corn, spicy sausage, and perfectly grilled shrimp.
Servings: 12 skewers
Equipment
- Wood or Metal Skewers
- Gas or Charcoal Grill
Ingredients
- 6 medium red potatoes, quartered
- bowl of ice water
- 5 ears corn, husks and silks removed, cut into 1-inch rings
- 1 pound medium to large shrimp, shell removed
- 1 pound andouille or smoked sausage, cut into 1-inch sections
- 3 tablespoons cajun seasoning (link to homemade recipe in the notes below)
- 12 wooden skewers, if using metal, no need to soak
Instructions
- Preheat grill to medium and soak skewers in a 9x13 pan of water for about 30 minutes.
Potatoes
- Carefully add the quartered potatoes and corn to a large saucepan of boiling water. Cook for 5 minutes, then drain. Immerse potatoes and corn in ice water to stop cooking.
Assembly
- Starting with the sausage, add the sausage, shrimp, corn, and potatoes to the skewer. Repeat 2 or 3 times depending on the length of your skewer. Set skewer on a large sheet pan. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
- Sprinkle the cajun seasoning evenly over all skewers, then flip and do the other side.
- Brush the grill grate with oil. Place skewers on the grill directly over the heat.
- Cook for about 3-5 minutes and then use tongs to turn once. Cook another 3-5 minutes.
- When done, slide the ingredients off the skewer (I use tongs onto a plate and serve hot).
Notes
- Make sure to plan ahead if you are using wooden skewers, they need to soak for 30 minutes prior to grilling.
