Dinner last night

Beau has been asking to grill something so I searched through my little collection of recipes and found these kebabs that I’ve been wanting to make. Great idea because they were delicious!

 

Grilled Sausage and Shrimp Skewers with Smoked Paprika Glaze

 

3/4 c olive oil

4 large garlic cloves, pressed

2 T chopped fresh thyme

5 tsp smoked paprika

4 tsp Sherry wine vinegar

¾ tsp salt

½ tsp pepper

½ tsp crushed red pepper

12 uncooked XL shrimp, peeled

12 1-inch long pieces andouille sausage

12 cherry tomatoes

12 2-layer sections of red onion

Cooking spray

 

Whisk oil, garlic, thyme, smoked paprika, sherry wine vinegar, salt, pepper and red pepper in medium bowl to blend for glaze. Transfer half of glaze to small bowl and reserve for serving.

 

Alternately thread shrimp, sausage, tomatoes and onion on each of 6 skewers. Arrange skewers on large rimmed baking sheet.

 

 

Coat grill with cooking spray and prepare to medium high heat. Brush skewers on both sides with glaze from 1 bowl. Grill until shrimp are opaque in center, turning and brushing occasionally with more glaze, 6-8 minutes.

 

Arrange skewers on platter. Serve with remaining glaze.

 

 

This is now one of our favorites and will be made again!
