Ingredients

  • 1 pound large shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 1 yellow onion cut into 1 to 1 1/2 inch pieces
  • 2 green bell peppers cut into 1 to 1 1/2 inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cajun seasoning
  • 14 ounces andouille sausage sliced into 1/4 inch thick rounds

Instructions

  • If using bamboo skewers, soak in water for at least 20 minutes. This helps prevent them from burning/catching fire while on the grill.
  • While the skewers are soaking, combine shrimp, bell peppers, yellow onions, olive oil and cajun seasoning. Mix well so that everything is coated in the oil and seasoning. Let sit for at least 10 minutes.
  • Thread the shrimp, bell peppers, onions, and andouille sausage onto the skewers.
  • Heat grill to medium heat, grill skewers 3 minutes per side or until the shrimp is opaque and cooked through. Serve immediately.

Notes

I got about 18 skewers with this but that will vary depending on the size of skewers you use.
