Shrimp and Sausage Skewers
4 servings
25 minutes total

Ingredients

  • 3–4 links smoked Cajun sausage (about 10 oz)
  • 16 jumbo peeled/deveined shrimp (thawed)
  • Cooking spray
  • 4 (12-inch) bamboo skewers
  • ½ cup apple jelly
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon liquid smoke

Prep

    • Preheat grill. Cut sausage into ½-inch-thick slices (about 16 slices).
    • Coat both sides of shrimp with spray.

Steps

    1. Thread tail of shrimp onto skewer, then one slice of sausage, and then other end of shrimp (so that shrimp hugs sausage). Repeat until four shrimp and sausage pairs are on each skewer.
    2. Combine remaining ingredients in microwave-safe bowl. Cover and microwave on HIGH for 2 minutes, stirring once, or until liquefied.
    3. Place skewers on grill; cook 2–3 minutes on each side or until shrimp just begin to turn pink.
    4. Brush jelly mixture over shrimp; cook 1 more minute on each side and until shrimp are pink. Serve.
