Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined (tails on or off)

  • 12 oz smoked sausage or andouille sausage, sliced into 1-inch rounds

  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces

  • 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces

  • 1 small red onion, cut into chunks

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

  • Wooden or metal skewers

  • Fresh parsley or lemon wedges for garnish (optional)


Instructions

  1. Soak skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes.

  2. Make the marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper.

  3. Toss and marinate: Add shrimp to the marinade and toss to coat. Let it sit for 15–20 minutes while you prep the other ingredients.

  4. Assemble kabobs: Thread shrimp, sausage slices, peppers, and onion pieces onto skewers, alternating ingredients.

  5. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (around 375–400°F).

  6. Grill kabobs: Place kabobs on the grill and cook for about 2–3 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until shrimp are pink and opaque and sausage is slightly charred.

  7. Serve hot: Garnish with fresh parsley or lemon wedges, if desired.


Notes

  • Don’t overcook the shrimp—they cook fast!

  • Try using kielbasa or chorizo for a flavor twist.

  • These also work great on a Blackstone or grill pan indoors.
